Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

Photobucket sucks

A boat, a GMC truck, some Craftsman Tools, LOTS of Zombie Protection, and a few Goldfish.. If you love someone set them free.. If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!

You are going to drop the hammer at 4500 and it's going to want to fall flat. The DP will be more tunable than the TQ. As mentioned make sure you have your timing set..I'd try all in full 38* at 2400. The DP is a bit more user-friendly, but the TQ does produces overall a better torque curve, in comparison. DP's ARE rpm happy, since they can kick the secys in on demand. TQ's create torque, till their secys kick in off of vac. When properly adjusted watch out!!

However I'd choose a TQ over the Rochester for a few reasons, weight being one, fuel temperature being another, and so on.

Over my 750 eddy i have on top of my 440 the eddys stock in outta the box and my motor has some issues i think its due to my 484 cam lacking fuel im gonna also try a Holley 750 dp my buddy runs on a camaro putting out 507 hp. Try the Thermoquad, you might be surprised. Ma mopar new what she was doing using it. I just got mine back together and WooHoo It's an 850 on top of my built 318 and all I can say is

And with some home work you can tune in a mean carb. Fuel runs cooler and which is what thermaquad means. Cooler fuel means better fuel mileage. Cooler fuel also means "MORE-POWER" AKA "MOPAR". Now the facts can be proven through science. I have them all and pound for pound mama knew whats best?
