Thank you. As far as et's go.... the car ran in the mid 8's with the previous owner and similar horsepower. The gearing and converter are the same. most of the changes i have made to the car are for reliability and safety, not necessarily performance. My updates added probably around 150 pounds to the car, but im a little smaller than the other guy too. There is room for improvement on a few things. The carbs proved to be a bit of a limiting factor on the dyno. But im also at a point where tenths cost thousands, and for what is essentially still a bracket nostalgia car im not sure how much more im willing to commit to see every ounce of potential. as long as it drives straight and goes fast i will be happy.
What size Quickfuels are they? And is there a reason you went with vacuum secondaries?

They are not exactly quickfuels. They are custom built by Biggs for a big NSS hemi and utilizing some quick fuel parts. 1000 CFM.
The carbs came with the car, so i figured i would try them and see. I have the racepak with 02's so i should know pretty quickly if they will get the job done. On my old car i had mechanical secondary big quickfuels on a 604 hemi with fab crossram. I couldn't footbrake the car to save my life. If i left on the T-Brake with the carbs open it worked fine. If i tried to footbrake it would have a bog that i couldn't get past. I know of a couple other racers with big NSS hemis that had similiar issues. They fixed them with the Biggs carbs.
I don't think I gave up a ton of power with the carbs. If i project it on paper i think another 30 hp could be had with bigger carbs, but thats also really just guessing. Dominators won't exactly fit the NSS build. I know there are some big 4150's that are out the last few years. This is 4 year old technology carb, but its a starting point. Also I didn't have a whole lot of people to compare too on the setup. I don't know too many other millenium motors this size, just kind of figuring it out as i go. The only ones im aware of are Hemifreds and DTHEMI on here, but they use dominators if im not mistaking. Then a few more from FHO canada, and the other motor chuck did.
I was playing around in the car behind my friends shop, and the throttle response was impressive, so will just have to try and see.
thanks for the nice words everyone.
