i'm running the 270h, it has a thump at idle thats all i can tell you cause i can't get my motor to run right yet :rofl: i need someone that knows how to adjust holleys then i can tell you about the preformance....when you put your headers on did you have any problems starting the car back up when its hot?

Yea thats what i will probley get like skip said no more that 270h...But as far as the car not starting with after the header installed, it fired up every time...maybe u have a header leak...car running too hot to not start...no gas flow, has the holley been rebuilt? i have a carb guy that will rebuilt it and adjust it to factory spec for $90.00 Joe's Carburators in Lynwood, Ca

everything is good carbs new, headers on tight, i just think since the headers are so close to the stock starter it gets all hot after running for a while and when i try and crank it, it doesnt spin the motor fast enough I also have a small battery so that might be part of the problem cause it starts right up when its cold. itll crank but its real hard to start when hot
