Switched to Carb!

Mean50 · 11-30-2001, 10:32 AM

Well I finally made the switch to carb. I am still using my Holley heads and the Systemax II cam with a victor junior intake and a 750 dbl pumper with a 1 inch spacer. The ignition is all MSD and the fuel pump is a Holley Blue.

The car feels strong and is performing better than I could ever get the EFI to work. I have yet to fine tune the carb, play with fuel pressure, or even mess with the timing; just can't wait to get some track times. In the near future I will be adding a dual stage Nitrous Works kit.

I installed a set of SSM lift bars and drag springs yesterday. The car is just begging for some slicks and some track time.

Are you looking to sell any of your efi gear? ex. wiring, computer, intake, maf, or tb?? If so send me a message.

Yeah, all things being equal, you'll probably find the car is faster with the carb. A large part of that is due not to carb vs. EFI, but the design of a carb intake vs. an EFI intake. I have been considering this swap myself.

If you were to make the change, then just go to Fletch's Carbed site and it will make it a lot easier on you. I look to port my heads and intake in the future and have a custom ground from Lunati made for it.
