I Got 2 Drive It!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well after going over everything ten times and so on.I'm Ready,the town cop drives by and waves,I fired it up and slowly pulled it out of the drive and down the street.It seems like everyone is out and they all stop and watch me gently roll down the street.I'm watching the gauges and checking the new brakes and just cruisin,no issues.I turn around in the park and head back and I can't stand it so I slowly take off in first and give it a little throttle and this sound of a jett over takes the rumble and the pull is hard and was gettin harder till I backed off.It was maybey half throttle.My first responce was HOLY !@#%$&@I'm gonna die in this one!
I'm gonna get it dialed in better before I punch into it,but It has been worth every minute spent after just that short birst. I can't say if it's the sound or the pull but,I like it!

Wow, I built this one from so many different sorces.Mostly the enternet!Craigs list,Forums, E-bay, and so on.There are several way to build one also,blow through,draw through,and I'm still not confirming that this is the carb yet.I'll try and put a few things together after it is good to go.

Let me see what I can come up with.There are alot of places on the net that have setups and info.You will need a stout base and motor info to start with and to have an idea of where you have to go with it.BB,SB,CR,(preferably under 8.5:1 in most cases)CI,ect.Single or twin turbo.Street,Race.I am running a 355ci,with two A/R 50 T-3/T-4 hybirds.I will be adding twin intercoolers soon.(My current ones are too big.)Most guy's build their own headers or have them built for their car.I have another set of stainless sbc headers,2 into1 intercooler,twin intercoolers and a hat but I can't say how they would fit another car.
