well i have a 20seh with a 272 cam, r1 carbs, p&p head, 4-2-1 with a 2" exhaust using megajolt for the spark

has your vernier pulley been set up or has it just been put on?

well apart from getting the head worked on and fitting tb's or carbs theres not much else to do

get your car lighter is another option, more power to weight ratio
