    Solved my own mystery

    For about the past month and half my car has been a total dog. Weather and time finally permitting I was able to get under the hood and find out what was going on. On close inspection discovered the front carb butterflies were only opening 1/2 at full throttle and prevented the secondaries from opening under full throttle. Apparently my throttle bracket had loosened causing it to shift forward. This caused the throttle cable to loose over and inch of travel. Adjusted the bracket and the tv cable, and rechecked the function. This thing is a monster once again!! Launched on the street in front of my house and one-wheeled over 100 ft before lifting (stock 3.08 open of course).

      Stock throttle cable and bracket, have only one bolt holding bracket on the intake manifold right now. Will remedy this later. TV cable is a lokar, havent had any trouble with it yet.
