Cause theres a actual V shapped piece missing on it. Idle is fine and steady somewhere between 700-750. I think its probably causing the air to not flow in correctly which is probably causing some hp loss which explains the low trap. Yeah he knows the 60ft isnt that good but how can that cause the trap to be low? I thought getting off the line doesnt affect the trap?

zappas- yeah were gonna go ahead and check the timing whenever i have some free time and try to figure out something with the tb, then go to the track this sunday or next sunday and ill tell you the results

could be? no idea...he bought the swap like that. But anyways yeah we went to the track this pass weekend and he ran a 16.088 @ 86.35mph. 60ft. was 2.469..tire pressure was at 19psi. All i have to say is those tires SUCK...you would expect traction with only 19psi but it was still spinning some so that was the best he could pull. Anyways i decide to take look under the hood today...well his friend from honda that did the valve adjustment on his car left a ground wire jus hanging so i reconnected it to the back of the head. Also checked the timing..it was off at 14 degrees so i put it back to 16, then i also got some things from home depot and customed a velocity stack for his throttle body since it was chipped, so now its covering the missing V piece...the air flow should be better now. Replaced his bosch spark plugs with some ngks...used exhaust wrap on his intake to prevent heat soak...lastly tightened his throttle cable. We took it out for a ride...man it feels much better now..picks up quicker and doesnt bog under 2k no more. Gonna go to the track nex week so ill give you guys the results..
