Another episode of "What will it run?!"

Just to clarify my previous post, I'm not saying a bigger carb is a bad idea, it could help quite a bit....but it is not the magic pill that some folks think.

What I mean by that is, if your current carb is well tuned, on the OP motor there probably won't be a big difference due to the poor flowing heads, small cam, low-ish RPM range....in a nut shell, the demand for air/fuel mix is not as high as it would be for a motor that uses more RPM range, better flowing heads, bla bla bla.

I hope that makes sense. I too am a fan of the 950dp carbs (and I really would like one), and it might help some, or a LOT...but that help could be from the previous carb not being tuned correctly in the first place.

A good example of this comes from my buddies car. He has a well dialed in stroker Valiant, runs 6.60's in the 1/8th. He thought a 950 dp would be better than his smaller (not sure on the size) Demon carb...long story short, he tried for half a race season to get the 950 to out perform his other carb...and it didn't happen, it was not any better, but his wallet was lighter...he ended up selling it within a few months.
