I have a really good 350 that I use on the strip sometimes. The engine is in a 76 3/4 ton truck with the usual high-performance bolt-on mods - Edelbrock StreetMaster intake 850 DP carb, stock exhaust manifolds with duals and Raptor mufflers and a re-ground Densmore cam (came with the truck). I've been saving up for a tach (the sun supertach looks cool), but am wondering if it is worth the money. The engine already has a really good oil pressure gage that I took off an irrigation pump, an plumbed in with a new copper line. I get 8 psi at idle, an it goes up to as much as 45 psi when it hits valve float. If I launch at 14 psi, I get the best bite and 60-ft time, and typically like to shift at 43 psi. Does that sound about right to you guys? I want to eventually wind this beast up to upwards of 50 psi, but I think I will need to hit the junkyard first for some of those beehive springs off a V-6. I think this would be money better spent than the tach, because the oil pressure gauge seems to be quite a good one already. What do you guys think? ???
