David Vizard bench flows a BBD 2bbl

In the discussion about the pistons they mentioned “if we can get a light enough piston”.
Of course, they’re supposed to be using only stock replacement type parts.
There aren’t going to be any “light weight” stock replacement pistons.
They should all weight about the same as the factory piece.

He should have better explained why he was testing the carb “as a 4bbl”.
4bbls are rated at 1.5”hg test pressure.
2bbls are rated at 3.0”hg test pressure.

I agree with them using the 4bbl test pressure, so the flow number for that 2bbl is directly comparable to a 4bbl(the numbers most are familiar with).

Keep in mind the number they got is “dry flow”.
Typically, the wet flow of a carb will be about 92% of the dry flow.
No matter how many times I point out the obvious on the using 1.5"Hg std to test or converted to compare, the same members will jump on to declare it "doesn't matter & it becomes whatever the engine wants". Proving they have mental mice running in circles butt-F'ing each other,.....
If You stroke the stk. crank by offset grinding, then look for the lightest stk. replacement pistons, You optimize displacement/compression/mass balance with the "stock junk". I guess.
