Question for Super Stock Thermoquad racers

N
Thanks everyone for your response to this question, to give more insight in to what is going on. Back in the 90's I was running an 80 Mirada with a W2 372 in. with 11.6 comp. and 590 MP solid cam, I started out with a TQ from a 73 440 side feed, and for a short time I had a 1000 cfm Comp TQ center feed. The car at the time hit a brick wall in the low 11's, just would not feed it enough fuel to go any quicker. I bolted an 830 Holley on it with no other changes to the fuel system and the car dropped in to the 10.8's. A few months ago I had a discussion with a friend who managed to get his car in to the 10.8's before he ran into the same problem, his car runs in the Fast class and he can't do any mods that do not look stock. Last night I got thinking about this and thought what are the guys running Super Stock doing, because they generally run quit a bit quicker than low 11's high 10's. Thinking about this a little more I realized that(I think, not sure) Super Stock can mod there carburetors as needed as long as it is the right part# for the year car and engine.

not quite true, they can run any TQ as long as the primary bore is right for the particular engine. D/Stock Auto Duster with a TQ has run in the 9s so they flow enough fuel in fact a friends G car (low comp 340) used a third more fuel with the TQ over an AED 850, both ran the same ET. The step rods are removed and Holley jets are installed in there place. The reason I asked what size line from pump to reg was to many cars have to big a line and the pump cannot force all that heavy fuel up front. A 3/8 line is all that’s needed to the reg then a #8 or 10 to the carb for volume. Set reg to 7-9 psi, that will put enough fuel in there.
