    Run 12's an still drive it to work. I've gone a best of 13.2 with my old quadrajet but im really tired of opening that thing up. I've got a dual-plane manifold and I've always read that a dual plane should have carb sized 100cfm bigger than a single plane. so for single plane, like a 650, but...

    looking for carb recommendations

    9.8:1, vortec heads, curently 2.23 rear gear. I'm looking to go to 3.50 rear gear. I was thinking about doing a larger carb, like a 780 vacuum secondary, and annular boosters in the primaries. From what I've been reading this is a good combo. I don't want to lose a bunch of power on the top...

    holley carb with primary circuits on both sides

    I watched that video, and I see why, somewhat. I noticed on the baseplate: http://static.summitracing.com/global/i ... 12-117.jpg There are vacuumn passages that curve around. Those could be plugged or re-routed, this seems easy enough. I just need the primary sides for the idle adjustment...

    holley carb with primary circuits on both sides

    I'm not super familiar with holley-style carbs, as all my experience up to this point has been q-jets. I know q-jets have their idle, cruise, and high speed circuits all on the primary side. The secondary side is mostly just a high-speed circuit. I want to have a carb that has all the...

    has anyone used jegs brand transmissions?

    I've been running my car for two years without a kickdown linkage. i just shift manually all the time. 0 problems. 700r4, yes, you need it. TH350, no. The various engines i've had have always made way more power than required for passing, so i've had no need for passing gear, lol. You'll be...

    Slotted or Drilled Rotors, the truth

    That's not true at all. Go read manufacturers sites about drilled rotors - Go see what Willwood and Stoptech have to say about drilling rotors. They say they are for looks, for weight. Go look at "real" race cars. They don't have drilled rotors. Drilled rotors dont usually fail because they are...
