Last chance to stop me from buying the hype...

Well, I encouraged him to try some other things out, but he didn't hold onto the car long enough to really get to try something else. I was dying to try the 850 DP spread bore Quadrajet replacement on the CH4B he had lying around. Of course there are better manifolds out there, but it was in the way anyhow. As for me, I would have gone Holley Street Dominator or the like, something towards the street side instead of a Victor or TM7, being it didn't have a lot of extra cam in it. But it would have been interesting to see. Being a street machine dubbed "the family hotrod", it would have been impractical to have went with anything other than the street demon. Sure it would have run better, but being traction limited as it already was, it would have been of no more benefit than to possibly help worsen the already poor fuel economy. But being the car came with it and it had been tuned in for the combination it really surprised us how well it did.
