Re: Carb choice for 350
[QUOTE=slugish;2393011]

A couple of questions that are kind of outside the discussion---1) What cam design are you running? 2) Does your truck pull at a stoplight, while you are sitting waiting for it to change? REASON for questions---If you put in a cam that is rather healthy, then your truck is probably working itself against the torque convertor and tranny (I am guessing you have an automatic--I may be wrong). This bad idle and the torque convertor lends to loading up your engine with raw gas (due to having to set the idle high on the carb to overcome the bad idle conditions). This is primarily due to the idle adjustment is NO LONGER in the idle circuit on the carb ---it is now in the transition area. If so, then a change to your torque convertor's STALL is necessary to get your idle screws back where they belong (JUST A GUESS). I had to take my stroker motor's tranny to a 2400 stall to get a better run and idle response. The change was tremendous. |
