rpms.


Idle about 1000-1200
Running/cruising 2000 -2400
Max on a hop up 3,500-4,000

I like a fast idle, but that's way beyond a fast idle! Your halfway through the advance curve.

I probably idle at about 600-700, I'm guessing... Don't have a rpm on the car but have a rpm tester, never really tested, just by ear (guess I'll test it, i tune with vacuum). I do have a reground cam, it's a bit lumpy. Could use a bit more idle so it doesn't load up idling. I do run a vacuum gauge in my 36 full time, no rpm.


It was just a topic suggestion I made for discussion. Not what I run.
