Re: Made some more power today

With the big stall you have, can you even notice a difference down low between the two because it just slips in everyday driving? If I got a 6.0 and was doing the swap in the garage i'd go for the edelbrock package with the MSD box and the vic. jr. or Performer RPM manifold. One side of me says the performer would flow more than most efi manifolds, but I haven't seen any testing done with it. The other side says take a fat ole nasty cam and run a single plain. Rev the piss out of it with a big stall because I don't have the money for cubes, boost or nitrous and cams all cost the same anyway. Both scenarios with an SMI jetted Holley, ormaybe I could squeeze 12 mpg's out of one of their quadrajets I'm not computer savvy and am really starting to figure this carb and mechanical ignition thing out. Added 8 degrees of initial timing to the old 350 this week after getting the rebuilt quad back and it runs like a 200 horsepower beast
