Hitman47 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I met a guy named troy at my friends shop while fabbing the kit into the z car, he is a genious carb guy who went heads up in an engine building contest with a huge aftermarket fuel injection company who`s name i cant mention due to legal reasons but he spent 20 hours modding a carb of his choice holley 700 model 4150 [double pumper] anyways to make a long story short they threw the engine in this nova with this 10,000 dollar aftermarket FI system and ran an 11.5 quertermile time after time. They threw the same engine in the car with gis holley and they shaved a half second off!!!! 11.0 This guy just moved from down south becuase of family reasons, So he dosent have many clients up here in Nor-Cal. One of the reasons he can make insane power is he uses webber powerplates that only he can get. No one else in the world can get them. Anyways he also makes these carbs reliable 200,000 without a sweat, On street 5.0 or 350`s anyways he made dale earnhardts carb in his last champion season and a bunch more famous nascar name. But since he needs new guys to start up again he is offering better prices. Let me put it this way the 600 dollars you could spend on a holley hp the same carb from him would shave a tenth to 5 tenths of a second of your 1/4 mile time. Here are some links about him. http://www.carcraft.com/howto/77958/ http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/503460 http://www.popularhotrodding.com/enginemasters/articles/chevrolet/smallblock/0206PhrEmtech/ just a few to look at. Email me or respond if any are interested. Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillZ260 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Sounds interesting. So does he take your engine specs, needs, and all that and put together a carb for you? Would this be overkill for street daily driver? I am only wanting to put out 300-350 hp on a mostly stock 350 and I am wondering if I need such an advanced carb.

dr_hunt Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 There's nothing like the complete drivability of a perfectly tuned carb, whether it's for street or race. I'd venture to say that if somebody was willing to try one, then they'd never buy anything else. This of course is just my opinion and is based on the several C&S aerosol billet carb's that I own. I'd never go back to a box stock holley except to cruise the local drive in on gas rather than alky. This guy seems to know what's happening, I don't, so I'll leave it up to the experts, I do know that factory holley, even holley HP's, leave alot to be desired when compared to a custom built and massaged carb.
