No they don't. Atomization takes place after emulsion and booster design and sheer force have bigger impacts on atomization. If the mixture has to turn corners like in the Holley design then good luck controlling the 2 phase flow state. The mixture can and will revert to stratified or even...

Port matching the manifold to the head only encourages the fuel that is on the walls to stay there and it travels slower than the column of air. You need to keep the fuel entrained in the air column as that's what provides the best mixture. One of the smartest guys in the game makes the...

Any Idea what that carb flows?

But isn't that what separates the men from the boys? If it was easy everyone would be doing it.

Lets not forget what this 318 made: Dyno shop tested 318
