Have you ever back-to-backed the two, either on the dyno or at the track?

Just buy a BLP main body and get er done!! Sell one of those dinosaur carbs on Craigslist to recoop your $$$$. This will end the debate and you finally be able to sleep. I really like mine!!!!!!!! Shiny or not, all carbs are dinosaurs compared to a good EFI system.

I have everything but the base plate to build the 950 and I think I still have my notes from the dyno to set it up by. If I come up with a base plate I'll do back to back test at the drag strip. I'm thinking of selling my car so it may not happen.

When you dynoed the motor which carb body did you use?
Selling the car?
Going late model?

Shiny or not, all carbs are dinosaurs compared to a good EFI system. Not hardly. We were told that lie about PS. A good carb is hard to beat.

So is the Challenger running again? Still  ... Like The Haze?  Naaaahhhh... Last I heard, The Haze was sleeping in darkness, or something like that. The MoPig's in a perfectly well-lit garage gathering dust between infrequent wrenching sessions.

I really like my BG Gold Claw, too. And Dwayne's not-a-spec-of-billet CFS-modified original 4781 850 dp made 10 HP more and better torque across the RPM range than the BG when we tested both of them. That's not even using an HP-style main body. Like I said previously, the BX4 bodies LOOK like they should work better, but that's no guaranty it'll show up on my ET slip. Therefore, trying a billet main body is a wait & see thing and may not ever happen.

Going late model? It was dynoed with the 950HP. I'm thinking about selling the Dart and buying a newish Challenger, low mile Hellcats can be had in the 48-50K range around here. Or sell the Dart and build my 65 Dart to run some street car stuff that's popular around here. The 69 is not going to get cut up but it wouldn't bother me to strip/cut the 65. It would be ugly, but it would also be light and light cars are easier to make fast.
