Edelbrock AFB vs AVS
"New England by the water woes."
Tell me about it. Long Islander here. Never more than 12 miles from salt water.
The DP is how large?
I like a snappy throttle myself on a street car. Being that (*I think*) the Edelbrock is smaller, the velocity is higher giving you that instant throttle response. This should also give you an edge on mileage. I would suggest the AVS model if you need to replace the current carb.
The DP is a 650, stock, 68/72 jets. The old AFB I had was a 600, the 1406 model IIRC. In all honesty, I could probably do a super tune on the DP and live with it, but I think that a super tune on an AVS would get me superior performance on all aspects.
So, here's what I got:
360 .020 over, Roughly 10:1 CR
Lunati Voodoo cam 268*/276* @ .494/.513 total lift
Edelbrock Perf. RPM intake
2.02/1.60 heads (I think they are J heads) with some mild work (gasket matching, bowl work, smoothing on the short side radius)
Still working on timing, but so far it's 32* total, 12* initial
Stock '71 Exhaust manifolds into 2 1/4" exhaust
4-speed/3.91 gears
Stock body, interior, etc.
