Brake Pedal Ratio Calculator - Mark Williams Enterprises, Inc

You want around 1200lbs at the caliper with manual brakes; 750psi line pressure with a 15/16"bore MC is'nt enough. Been there, done that. TO get line pressures up, ensure your pedal ratio is around 6:1 plus and use a 7/8" bore MC . With 7/8"bore I had just on 1000 psi measured at the caliper...

3 things about exhaust noise : i. the further rearwards the mufflers are, the quieter the exhaust will be. ii. the bigger the muffler case dimensions, the quieter the exhaust will be. iii. after the mufflers, stepping down to a smaller pipe diameter will not hurt HP. By that time the gases...

Ultrasonic cleaner for the carb's internals/passages.....soda for the outside. I thoroughly degrease them first if needed, then 1 x u/s clean, then a soda blast, then plain hot water for a few mins in the u/s cleaner to dissolve any errant soda. Then re-bush throttle shaft bores on the...

Ron Reagle Im as old school as one can get, hell my ride still looks like an early 80s build from the outside.But I have to weigh up the pros and cons of each platform and take into consideration what I want from the car moving forward.

Interesting thread and good input from all. Opinions can become heated, with the passage of time, the rose we remember the thorns we often forget. As someone who has run street/strip LAs and Gen II Hemis and is looking to possibly update to supercharged Gen III Hemi power, as always it depends...

Sounds nice ! I'm running a 572 Hemi, 880 HP / 770 TQ, dual 800 carbs, idles from a dead cold after 30 secs, 280 @ .050 roller, 15:1 idle, cruises in the high 14s, WOT mid 12s. EFI is nice, but I'll stick with the carbs for now :thumbsup:

Sure, that's cool and that's great, for his application. I don't know his combination, car/use, engine specs, compression, locality / ambient temps, cam specs, fuel quality, daily driver status (?) or any of the other important variables. Every one of those variables will have a say in what one...

As usual what parts you use will be dictated by your application. Carbs are no different to EFI from a learning perspective - your STILL have to learn how to dial either system in depending on what it is you're using. This is the caveat - many are not willing to take the time to learn HOW to...

Just a typo thats all, thanks guys.

I did Kim, and yes I know that members from FABO are on both sites.......I'm one of them. Sheesh.....now its a crime to ask for assistance on more than 1 site ? Thanks.

Yes dual modded TQs.
