dual carbs & tunnel ram OR M1 and 850 dp????
Do you guys think the 450's are to small?????
Too small, run a pair of 600 1850s, a well tuned TR will be loads of fun, i've done it twice & loved it, of coarse its all in the tuneing, but once you figure it out, its gravy after that, i even made my own linkage both times out of aluminum plate, heres a start for setting up those 600s, with all that plenum you'll need to set the carbs up over stock.
Weiand "D" shape TR. This is about the "best" street TR out there.
2-1850s, try & get them with the same dash, like 1850-2
Jet them up to 68s in front on both, install 31 squirters on both.
Install the quik change spring kits/pods with balance tube (both carbs)
I also started playing with the jet plates in the rear increasing the size by .002" on both carbs.
This set-up was on a high 10 second 400/451 duster with iron heads, small solid cam, 4.10s & a 4400 stall, still wasn't at its prime with the TR, but damn close, in the dead summer heat it pulled 123.58 MPH, that was up 2 MPH over an M1 with an 850, ran a 10.87 on a slow *** 1.62 60ft. Top end was outstanding, gained right at 24 MPH in the last 660, had tons of fun in that car for 2 yrs. beating up on the other guys lol.
