Hi Henri,

The float level and fuel pressure is ok and I'm running Q16, it's a bit lean when there's no boost but the problem with that run is when I launched I saw on the dynojet that it was way too rich!!! So it dropped dead at that moment! Due to the vacuum spring on the secondary side of the holley carb. So the secondary side opened too soon I think! Wink Otherwise the car is too heavy or the gearbox too long! Huh I will try and test some things soon! Wink

Cheers,

Christoph

Here's an onboard movie of the second testrun, way too rich at the start and misshifting in second gear... at the end fired the engine up to check the data..

Enjoy! Grin

Hi Mc stairs from what i saw on the first clip is that at the line when you where reving there was no black smoke from the exhaust but when you shifted in to 2nd the smoke came and also the power that tels me that the vac secondery was to late .
i know that launcing cant be simulated on a dyno and that you need a lot of fuel to get of the line and mayby your lm reading is to slow ,
i had this problem once and solved it by retarding  the lanch ingition curve so i created more airspeed in the carb then the 2nd opend faster,
just try to help i hope you solve the problem.
