last year root and i got my 1972 v8 914 on the road - but i felt like power was low and that the 4 barrels were not opening up. the last time i was at root's he watched the linkage at the carb to see what kind of range i was getting - it was about 50%.
well yesterday i made an adjustment - and have dramatically increaed the range but still not enough to get the 4 barrels to kick in.
regardless - she hauls ass now
i do not use 1st gear - i use 2nd as first - and moments ago i had her at 100mph in 4th - i sorts felt like i was in a space shuttle about to break thru the atmosphere. i think i need chuck yeager to see what top speed is - as currently set up - cause i ain't got the balls to find out for myself
