carb. on 85 vette
Out of curiosity will a edelbrock performer and holley carb fit under an unmodified 85 hood ? It's a route i've been thinking of.I've heard that the computer on this car is kind of limited as far as reprogramming goes.

If you use a carb junk the computer.
You will need to see if your stall converter will work if you trash the computer.
The converter will stall the engine and you will have to tune the carb to Idle.
