The good :Its running smoother, feels much snappier, feels like its pulling harder and smells cleaner The bad: I should have done this sooner The unknown: taking it to the track Saturday and see how it does straight from Thumper. A 2 tenths increase will put me in the 9.80s and I think it could happen.

You do now the top carb shops do not give CFM ratings right?? They will give you the throttle blade, venture and booster sixe though. A WHOLE lot more to a carb than just a flow number.

What`s to flow, that`s built in I`m just maximizing the potential of all of the screwed up holley tune ups. Don`t hate and I`m no expert Mike just learning what works and what doesn`t and I`ll bet I can fix yours if it`s the same as 99% of the ones I`ve seen......... 
I'm injected now... it takes care of itself.. good
luck with the carb stuff... by the way.. when I did
it at work we used a flow bell(flow bench with a lid
to set the barometric pressure)

I know you spent time in the lab and that`s cool and you guys paved the way Mike but seems what worked good back then has gotten crazy. Very few cars I know of need more than a 2-circuit carb or 2-3 emulsion holes not 4-5 wackin out the fuel curve and makin em rich down low and lean up top.........just ask Ray. Anyhow, like everyone before me who figures stuff out w/the help of smarter people and applies it and PROVES it works, gets nut kicked so whatever but to the smart ones who try these tunes, thankxxx........... 
Dom I'm sure you will agree that a production carb
is MUCH closer to being right.. your playing with
all aftermarket carbs and yes they are fat in the mid
My carb would go lean at wot. It was ok everywhere else. It rained here almost everyday this summer so I didnt get to spend any time on it plus I built another bad azz vehicle over the summer so Dom fixed what would have takin me months to figure out

Ray I'm not taking anything away from Dom... but one
size doesnt fit all... we used 100,000 dollar set ups
to dial this stuff in... and tons of dyno hours
