I need some suggestions on what type of intake and carb(s) to run.
This is for the 65' Belvedere,,,
I want to "think" about running in the NSS stuff....or at least have the ability to comply with the rules,,,,
The only major thing for me/the car is the carb issues,,,
Right now i have a Dominator,,,the car has Edelbrock heads,,,
The best ET on the car is a 10.26 @ 130MPH,with the dominator,,,not sure there is much more in the car as it sits,,,other than shedding some weight for ET...
QUESTION What intake and carbs would you recomend for NSS for my car?
Will it slow down much or at all,,,compared to the dominator ?
I have a 800 Thunder series Edelbrock carb,,,sitting on the shelf ( should i run 2 of those,,,or am i going to have to down size to 2 smaller carbs ? ),,,i dont know what the NSS guys typically run,,,so need a little help there...
Is there someone that can "trick" out the carbs to make them work alot better,,,,eg prosystems,,quickfuel,,etc...
Thanks for any suggestions.....
I am planning on running DUAL carbs,,,,,
Is there an advantage to running a IN LINE vs CROSS RAM intake ?,,,,,
Doug
I attached a copy of the NSS rules,,,carb section...
