j_eremy Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Ok, what is the general opinion about dual carbs, like the edelbrock setup? or tri power? every engine I see is the same basicaly, edelbrock or holley intake with the the carb,. I want to do something different, not seen to often in a z. I have decided to keep my power range in the streetable area, while retaining drivablity. I am thinking of using the edelbrock rpm dual carb setup, or maybe a tri power setup. tuning the carbs is no prob for me. anyways what do you guys think. also I am thinking about changing cams, the engine is a 355, 9-1 comp with a schnieder stage 2 cam in it.. basicaly what I want is a lumpy idle, good power across the rpm range, and a different induction system then the norm. 315 hp and torque would suit me good. should move the z along just fine.. this z will never see a quarter mile track, just me, my daughter and wife.. maybe a car show when I am done..

73ZCAR Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Jeremy, Something different? How about the BADMAN from B.G.. http://www.barrygrant.com/news/articles/products/product_022.aspx Expensive, but totally cool. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedRacer Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 The common Tri-power setup for the small block Chevy is much like the ones on the old Pontiac GTO's. It doesn't really need tuning (except jetting) since it uses progressive linkage and runs on the center 2bbl. carb most of the time. The front and rear carbs don't even have idle circuit. They just have an accelerator pump and main jets. Vintage Speed http://www.vintagespeed.com has some interesting combinations for the SBC and so does Larry over at Automotion http://www.hotrodcarbs.com/home.php. If you don't mind spending the bucks you can call Mickey over at Inglese http://www.inglese.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
