Big Block Bel Air

A 1955 Chevy Bel Air is a beautiful car from the 50s.  The unique lines and curves set this car apart.

The owner of this Bel Air has been restoring it and modifying it.  He is making this Bel Air into a hot rod.  The original V8 was replaced with a 502 big block V8.  The carb was also replaced with a fuel injection system by ASM.

The reason the owner brought the Bel Air to us was because it was in need of a tune.  When it first arrived, the car had a rough idle and was just not running right.

Jason Oefelein began the tune by creating a base map.  Tuning continued on the dyno.
