Well I just got the Extreme Velocity Carb Hat last night. It creates a whole other problem.
I have to re-route the intake tract because the front of the hat hits the top of the carb bowl float adjusting hardware and will not sit flush on the carb. If I changed the hood I would have enough clearance to run a spacer or the PRO series hat.......I will not go there!!
While I am at it I may make 2 different intake tracts. 1 with the Extreme Velocity and the other with the DUAL Carb Hat that I already have. I am hearing conflicting strories of HOW GOOD the EV Hat is supposed to be. Ryan at Shady Dell just built a Turbo Small Block and he used the EV Hat VS a Home made hat and on the Dyno the Home Made Hat out performed the EV Hat BIG TIME from what he is saying.
His Engine made alot of power NA and the compression is a whopping 11.3:1 running between 14-17lbs of boost. Motor made 678HP/590TQ Naturally aspirated.
His base engine build is a pretty big one at that!
Both of his set ups have NO INTERCOOLER!
The S480 made 1040 HP @ 14.8 PSI
The Forced Inductions GT91 Made 1197 @ 14.3 PSI With Meth Injection
His build is right here......
