these guys are scared of engines s#itting on the dyno and getting blamed for it. they will always be conservative, and i dont blame them. you need to have a deep discussion when you drop the car off.is it a race car/street n race/ daily driver? what do you want it to do? how do you want to drive it? are you looking for every last bit of power? or do you want it to be safe? how much maintainence are you willing to do? they need to know all this and more. the guy has to know exactly what you expect. if its not possible he will tell you then and there.
we get the other end "hey, you rebuilt the motor why did it s#it the tin" when they have the wrong carb wrong manifold wrong tune up wrong ignition and they fitted it in a paddock full of sand. my all time favorite is an engine built to rev to 7500 with a dead stock oil pan.
the bottom line is, if YOU didnt check it it might not be right
try the plugs, and big gaps are for low emmisions set em to std. the more power your trying to make the more critical the small stuff gets. MSD website has some info on plug gaps
racecar prep is all about checking, knowing, writing it down, deck heights, cam timing, comp ratio tappet settings,plug gaps it goes on and on.... you should have noted all your jets, emulsion tubes,chokes and acc squirter sizes what happens if it blows up, you rebuild it and it makes 25 less HP. what were your original specs? "dunno" isnt an answer that will help you get back to where you were everyone thinks this stuff is easy until they do it dazza give me a call if you want,home tomorrow
