Today I used the new alignment machine at my brother's shop. After putting
on the new suspension, I needed it. Well the settings weren't too bad, but
I have some adjusting todo. Thanks for Greg Jacobs and JB Jordan for coming
out.

Bang! Happy fourth of july. I added a carb spacer to my pantera today. I
wanted to make a "super sucker" style spacer. They are two in one spacers,
increasing velocity and increasing plenum volume. I didn't wanna pay the
$140 for one of these spacers so I made one from a $50 moroso four hole
spacer. I took a print out of the one to copy and grinded away.
While I was in there I replaced the power valve and main/secondary jets and
stab pump discharge nozzles. After my dyno run last week I wanted to get
the car to where it should be air/fuel wise. I also replaced my 4" air
filter with a 2". I get about a 1" more gap now between the roof and the
air filter top. Result? Oh boy this thing is
so much faster. Seat of the pant's is great. I can really feel the power
and the motor seems to come alive. I don't know if its the jetting or the
spacer but it was definitly worth it.
Now I need to go back to the dyno to see what the results are.
If the results are good then I will buy the real CNC machined spacer.
