Default 8BA tuning up for Speedweek rear wheel dyno pull

Heres a video from our recent dyno run checking out the tune up of our 8BA combination that my son and I designed, machined and assembled. Preparing for some record runs at Speedweek. You wont see much of the supercharged gas burning Flathead engine but you will certainly hear her furry. Speed on the rollers was 151 MPH RPM 6000
