it had whats called an Aeroflow black 140 equivalent to a holley black. all -8 lines from cell to carb. I knew it wasn't going to cut it but up until then it had been running quicker and quicker, guess I found its limit.

Thats interesting

It is but that 140 is rated unregulated so I found out. more like 100 at 7 psi. I also had it plumbed to a deadhead so.... it could have been ok with a return.

For the guys running LY rods, or a cheap I beam/H beam rod. Was is your thoughts on those?. I found some I beam rods on ebay and the company claims they will handle 800 hp. Has ARP bolts. They weigh 800g, and they're $255. They're cheap H beam rods but most of them have the .990 pin.

I've had nothing but bad experience with the Team G, the old Mopar M1 was worth 80 hp over the team G......I've still got the team G after 25 years because I cant sell it with a clear conscious, it's that bad. Get a deferant intake.

Dan is well known for doing more with less. He is a firm believer in Racer Brown cams. His own cars run extremely well for what they are too.
