sounds like it would be something to tryout, kinda far for me but so is norwalk. have they set dates yet? ill need atleast a couple tnt sessions to get my suspension settings close and feeling out higher boost levels. im switching over to a msd 7531 box also so that will need set up too. so its safe to say after i tune it after the mods ill come up and run in it. know any one who needs a digital 6 with a blaster coil? ill probally sell my btm also. i have the bars that i need to weld in in the garage to put me at 8.50 but i need someone who can tig because the headliner is in the car and it wont be able to be put back once the bars are in. a tig wont burn holes in the fabric.

im running the a2000, i was leaning out with my quick fuel, i was thinking i was running the bowls dry so i sold it and went to a holley hp with dual needle and seats and boost reference powervalves from csu, havent had no problems so far. i havent thrown alot of boost at it yet, im gonna see how 20-22psi treats me. if i go above that im going to start looking at goin to a belt drive fuel pump set up. what kinda boost are you running?

what are your air fuel numbers the dyno said i was leaning out to 12.2 on the gas scale i know its supposed to be arround 10.8-11.0 wot for a safe tune

my buddie said he would do 175 on the box let me know

 

the box sold already, my AF numbers....well i havent been back to the dyno with the new carb yet but its comming as soon as i get the new headers on, i dont believe my wideband is being honest with me because of where i have the sensor placed. im gonna move it further from the header evac tube on the new setup. so as of right now its only been tuned by times vs plug reading vs jet size...you know that drill.

 

what did kevin charge you for the dual bowls? i have a csu blowthrough 850 on it now, with dual brpvs and the powervlave circuts are drilled to 086. front and rear. 4 circuts each and 090 090 jets

 

the bowls where $500 extra on top of the conversion. by the time i got my carb back the bill was $1150. i dont know what size he has anything drilled to, havent given it much effort to find out. if i end up needing to open them up i will but as of right now Kevin said he has it "setup to move a shit load of fuel if it needs to".
