Numbers on the Roadmaster were lower than anticipated.

At the rear wheels:

275hp
340# torque

We're thinking we have the wrong camshaft installed. The fuel mixture was darned near perfect.

Changes will be made as funds allow.

You could make a little extra money for the project by pulling out old tree stumps. What are the specs on the cam you have in there now? It definitely sounds good.
