Thoughts on this 318 recipe

I can't find much to snivel about. Seems pretty well thought out. I'm super glad you called Mike and corrected your geometry, and NO I don't get paid to send Mike work or get free parts from him or none of that crap. He makes a great product and a great price point so now, other than ignorance, there is no reason not to fix it. Good for you for going the extra bit to do it.

Glad I got that off my chest.

My only snivel would your carb. I know everyone and their mother loves the VS carb, but I've always said they are boat anchors. Even with the lightest spring in the can, most of them never fully open the secondaries. I've seen BBC's on the dyno at 7500 not open the secondaries all the way.

I'd rather see a double pumper on there. That's about it.

Other than that, nice work. And most will tell you I'm wrong about your carb. That's ok. Their people think the world is flat.
