Auto Meter Ultimate II Tachometers - JEGS

by a Autometer playback tach with a driveshaft collar, or a racepak. then you can see your slippage, so your not wasting your time and money guessing. This is only if you want to get the most out of your combo, not for the test and tuners.

Adam has the best suggestion. Without hard data, you are just pissing up a rope.

When the engine went together what did the quench work out to be? Was the piston above or below the deck and how thick or thin are the head gaskets?

What was the final compression ratio calculated with what cc head chambers?

I think you have something else going on that is causing problems that is showing up in your tune issues.

Can you log back pressure?

How was the cam degreed?
