Yep - I did ask this over in AFF - not sure what FB is - and I agree - a good shop tuner maybe able to fix my problem and save me chasing bugs....
 
However - exactly as you have said here - Marty may or may not be able to fix my problem ; experience should say he would probably be on the money - however there is no guarantee.  My neighbor uses another dyno/tuner that he swears by -
 
But as I said in AFF - this is part of the fun of it for me - and I was hoping to get some advice on the forums from anyone else that may have experienced the same thing....rather than just get pointed in the direction of paying someone to do it - which again - as I said - the money has and never will be the driving factor - I honestly was trying to get ideas from anyone who may have had similar problems....and try and fix it myself.....and if not - no worries.
 
Or - start a thread that if anyone else out there may have the same thing - they can read and get advice - maybe I'm off track here - but I thought that's what this was all about - ppl sharing knowledge.
 
Sorry if I am sounding a little pissed off - but I was never hoping for a miracle cure - or expecting one - just advice from others with experience that could potentially point me in the right direction or share ideas on possibilities without having to go to a shop and see someone I don't know and/or trust to not get ripped off.
 
Maybe its been a long bloody weekend and the JD is talking....but I've read ton's of posts over the years that have been more than helpful and others not so much - as you can see from my post count - I'm not a big poster - but getting smart arsed replies like the above is the reason I have never bothered and after seeing many others get shot down in flames for maybe asking a stupid question....I can't be farked.....if that wasn't the intent - no worries - but either way - the fun has been sucked out of this....
 
Call this thread closed - I apologise for anyone trying to help!

G'day lads - checked the vacuum readings - was at 1.5 turns out on the IM screw - 10 vac ; changed to 0.75 turns out and vac went back to 15 which is what it was before - turns over way easier than last night!!
 
Slydog - don't take my lack on interest in rushing off to Marty as a negative - as Ando said - I'm trying to eliminate anything obvious before taking it to someone to get something obvious pointed out......
 
Once I've got what I think is a solid list of issues ; changes made etc - I'm off to Marty for sure - that way there won't be any reinventing of the wheel in regards to what has already been done.
 
Spent the day pool fencing with the neighbours - so no work on the old girl tonight - new lifters should arrive tomorrow - will whack those in during the week - then if the problem is still there - I'm confident I've done anything I can - hoping Marty can point me in the right direction then - really hoping to crack the mid 13's - that way I can give my cousin - with a bloody holden LS1 - a run for his money lol

G'day Sly - thats exactly where it will be going in a few weeks - wanted one last crack at trying to solve the prob and last night was the chance to try a few things on the track.
 
Short of these lifters coming on monday changing the game - off she goes!!!
 
At least running mid 14's seemed more respectable - but as always - it's never fast enough....
 
Nice when you can at least cross the line 1st for once lol

Yeah - fair enough - would make sense - def no need for an additional filter.
 
Just feeding the rug rats now then i'll slip out to the shed and rip it out ....
 
Yep - the engine is raised to cover clearance - this was how I bought the car 5 odd years ago - thought about converting to a 302 but after I blew the first motor up - I already had this one half built on the side so stuck with the crossy - nice easy motor to work on and a good learning curve and had plenty of spares available - hence the 200 rod combo ; had only previously played with Harleys for years - this the first car I'd owned for a long time lol
 
Only had the chance to get my C4 built just before xmas - so running that now with a 2200 stall - sweet to cruise around with and solid off the mark (even though the diff is 3:23's) but last trip to the track was only running mid 15's - that's when I discovered this rev problem - missing out on a good 1000 of RPM - think that might help the times lol
