Supercharger
Having an issue on my weiand 177 I put it on the dyno yesterday to do some tuning and the vaccum secondaries are not opening at all. Put a lighter spring in checked for vaccum and couldn't find anything that would cause it. Any ideas as to what would be causing this?

Re: Supercharger
Is your carb setup for a supercharged application? The carb could be getting false readings or the check ball could be stuck. Personally, I switched to a mechanical secondary carb and am very pleased!!
Exactly what carb do you have?

Re: Supercharger
vacuum secondary's won't work under boost. They need vacuum.

 Boost, the only replacement for displacement.  Can't wait to hear the numbers with the new carb.

Re: Supercharger
You HAVE to use a carb set up for a supercharger... or it just won't work right.

Re: Supercharger
Tuning is done, only put down 300 rwhp and 360 ftlbs. thinking on a cam swap and going to long tubes. Any input on a good cam for the 327 its making 6 pounds of boost.
