MadMike's 'Casper' 76 bug

[madmike]

well I asked a cpl. people to send pic's so I'm still waiting
I must of gotten a bad batch of Race fuel ,,I't would not even boost to 15lbs ,,,, bogged ,, feel on it's face
I waited a whole year for this ,, boy was i pissed ,,, It blew off the fan belt on the first burn out and ,,oil temp were up there 250*+
0 oil pressure, replaced the belt oil cooled pressure came back ,,,
next morning filled it up with premium gas ,,, tune was back time to pull out the 1915 and slap in the 2276 probably next week?
as for the Car Show on Father's Day I did win 3rd place in the "ProStreet' class, competing against Detroit Iron with Blower's sticking out of their Hoods

The Beast is in : 2276cc with the new FK10 cam(thanks Aaron Creech for confirming I use this cam )and total seal 2nd piston rings and brand new cylinders , so far so good I broke in the cam on my 'test stand' and did have a small oil leak from one of the Purdy JC pushrod tube's easy fix ,, then I installed in the bug,,,
This thing chirps the tires shifting into 2nd and I was still in 'Vacuum'
put a few miles on it, then hit boost with only premium fuel and 10-12 lbs it pinged a tiny bit at the end of the pull/shift ,, , so going to up the jetting today and 'test' some more a friend offed me his new Quick fuel 680 Vac secondary 4 barrel to try out , he wants to barrow my 750 Demon on his chop top chevy show truck ( stroked 383ci)before he switches to EFI so I waiting and it's a Holiday wknd

Thanks, I was 'testing' yesterday and just to see if it Bogged in 1st gear when you 'stomp' on it
Nope grabbed 2nd,, and smoked the tires wowser!!!

[madmike]

Finally slapped on the Quick Fuel 680. This thing is about 1/2 the weight of the Demon,, my buddy said: "should be good for another 7mph",LOL
now the tuning process all over again

Damn. That's pretty good! In don't think mine did that good when it was a stock 1200

[madmike]

Thanks, I'm going to leave the jetting alone for awhile on this one
looking for a ron lummus 4 barrel intake for the 1915 cruising motor

[madmike]

well It started out to be a decent trade one Quick Fuel 680 4 barrel carb for working on a tub buggy ,, then he Gave me this 'Free Buggy' :without motor ,no brakes , 3 bad tires ,, been sitting outside forever Motor frozen on trans (clutch stuck/rusted on flywheel) , I rolled out the old Mickey Thompson rear tires from the root cellar,,(no dry rot ) slapped in the 1915 and now waiting on a throttle cable,and some 'small stuff" going to use this for some trail riding with my Grandson & wife,, searching for a small rear seat
