Re: 4 hole carb spacer for better signal, will it work?

I went to 411 speedway with my brother in law Gordy Foust last night and during intermission I was telling him about your carb issues (Gourdy had the worlds fastest 66 Chevelle and was the 1st guy to run a promod over 200 mph at an NHRA sanctioned race and worked for both Holley and Edelbrock ) his suggestion was to change your power shot down to a smaller shot and to hook up a manifold vaccumm garage to see just how far it's dropping when you punch it . He asked if you were local and he would have it fixed in less than 5 minutes . Post or PM me all your current specs and settings and he said he would work it all out for you .He also said every backfire thru the carb can destroy the power valve . Google gordy foust 66 chevelle and look at his dual quad nitrous set ups .he knows what he's talking about .he's a fuel system expert .
