No per ignition or detonation on 87 octane. Pedal feels about 250ish HP. Runs about 215 temp but that's easily dealt with. My carb is a two barrel holley 287 cfm soon to be a Carter 500cfm.

By the way Russ is always willing to help

Most of us are more then willing to help Chris.
We only ask for the respect of our efforts.

Oh I strongly respect peoples efforts on this website. If it wasn't for others I wouldn't of learned anything.

Glad you're happy with the results. The bigger carb will certain help.

Definitely. It just feels like it in the pedal. 287 FM compared to 500 is a big difference
