Hmmm, not enough top end... 140-160

#1 done
#2 WIP, as in, I was going to do it yesterday, but a lot of friends moved in down to corvallis and they didn't want me to go up to portland. So i'll be getting that taken care of on Wed.
#3 done(.016)
#4 done with a meter
#5 done
#7 done as well as I can, and it seems to be good. We(shayne and I) balanced the carbs idle speed with an airflow meter, and then I adjusted the linkages a bit so both of the throttle plates open up at the same time(is that good? it seems good...) I should take of the intake box though and listen and look to see if they're sucking in the same though i guess.

As far as the cam being tired, I don't know what the C cam is supposed to feel like in a b20b, i've never had one. Shayne says the engine pulls pretty hard, faster than his car up top, but he's got a 2130 with a IPD Torque cam.

And yes, of course the project is wandering, i'm a 20 y/o with little money who acts like he sometimes does, and wants a faster car, but still the same car... Shayne suggested get a BMW, but to that i say heck no, old volvos can be fast... Just takes a little more money... =D
