Freed up some more hp! :)

Lol so I thought my car was running in top shape, felt fast to me! I pulled the hood off to relocate the mount for the spring because the spring was binding by the carb when the throttle is pulled 60% or more. Noticed the throttle cable was loose by where it bolted to the throttle, it was backed out and hanging by two threads. So now the spring doesn't bind at all and the gas pedal is nice and firm. I can actually feel the secondaries come in now! It sounds soooo good, I can hear the engine roar and the exhaust note gets ALOT deeper when they come on. I'm guessing the bind in the spring wasn't allowing the secondaries to unlock? Didn't know the car wasn't running at its potential

I'm sure I can adjust the timing a little better too. Sorry just had to share lol
