800cfm on mild 360 ?
Update:
So I took the car out this morning with cooler temps out.
Remember in this writing, this is my opinion, and only my opinion. You're experience may differ. I'm not one to say how awesome something is, just to say it, so here we go.
First impression leaving the driveway. The car idled fine, no stutter or anything out of the norm. Getting to my favorite straightaway/test road. Out of the hole the car hit pretty hard, feathering it for traction with the 215 70/14 tires. Mid range was where the problem was.maybe to much gas in the transition ? Just a little sloppy in the mid. Once it got past that in the top end, it ran pretty well. Driving and kickdown. Again there was a flat spot in the middle, and then picked up after kicking it down.
Conclusion at this point:
The best way to get this carb to run at its best would be running it on a dyno and with the help of a wideband a/f ratio gauge, and Ede tunning kit. With today's gas, the old school way of checking the plugs is a crap shoot at best. Plus is verly timely. If I was running this car at the strip, or ringing it out for everything it was worth, I would spend the time to make this carb work. There is no doubt that if I could hit the sweet spot on all the marks, it would be a hit. But that's a big IF. The question is, do I have the time, money, or patience for a couple more cfm's ?
At this point, the answer is no. I will put this carb back on the shelf.
The winner in this shootout:
The Ede 650cfm Thunder Series. This car hits all the marks, on a Mopar small block. Out of the hole, midrange, top end.
Yes, I did spend time tunning it, but not much. All stock jets, rods,springs. The tunning was in the timming, vac advance, and a/f. This Swinger is basically a stock 340, with a cam, and intake. And I have said it before, if you are not careful, it will put the smackdown :elmer:
Now its time to put the 650 back on.
If only we could just leave well enough alone. :)
This is an open discussion. Any and all feedback welcomed, and appreciated.
So let it rip guys/girls!!!
