holley 4 barrel flooding

That brass mangled float look like it came out of the Dukes of Hazzard car after one of them famous jumps. LOL
Before i was talked into some test you could NOT have convinced me that lower fuel pressure was better.

Before my tests i was Going to Proven! that it will flow more fuel Quicker and faster the high pressure......................
I have been running as much pressure as i could get away with for all my life. AFB 7 psi, Holley'S 9 and nothing lower!!!!!

I did these test to Prove Several on my thread that they were full of B.S. And that my way Was the Right way in theory and reality.................................

I would have to go back to my thread to re read it to be exact, BUT here is the basic concept. we were comparing gal per minute compared to set pressure regulator setting.
with the pressure at 9 psi it took opening the float(I mocked this up with a ball valve) and dropping the pressure down to 7 pound before it was flowing enough to support 500 HP. (return flow regulator. At 9 psi it's all going back to the gas tank)
with the regulator sets a 6 psi(at 6 psi it all going back to the tank) it only to a half of a pound (5.5psi) to supply enough fuel to support 500 hp.

If the float can open sooner, and maintain a more consistent float level, the carb will perform more consistent.
