    I took this video before I started my Chemo therapy.
    Me and my wife went for a quick drive. I was able to run to 7000 in 1st and 2nd a few times.

    Hope you enjoy it, the sound isn't the best but it gives you and idea on how well the car runs.

    Great sound... I think maybe I've got the wrong car. I'm short about 4 cylinders.

    Hey--I don't know what your chemo is for, but I've had a mess of it. I was so long in the hospital I started thinking about Ferraris. In the end it came down to a BB.

    You'll get on back to yours.

    Thanks for the kinds words.

    I spoke with Tate at Carobu and followed his suggestions.
    1.5 mm over bore, 10.5 Cr piston.
    Carobu cam grind with new V springs and SS valves.
    Carbs flowed and rebuilt by Pierce Manifolds and jetted to the Cams/piston combination.
    Only using 300m chokes for better torque.
    There is 15HP lurkinh
    port matched intake and exhaust by Rocco
    Assembled and tuned By Rocco
    Bell exhaust and quick silver manifolds.

    373 HP at the rear wheels, 3 pulls, then 2 more pulls after break in.
    The BB gained about 4 HP after break in from 369 . same dyno and same temp.
    94 octane plus 2 bottles octane boost. Ambient of 80f

    I used 16% for losses

    In addition Tate indicated that there a little more but I am ok with the results.

    Yes, the car is fast.
