Default Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series

In giving thought to this post I am struggling with exactly how to present this change.

My struggle is mostly based on my long time, make that lifelong quest to go faster. Yet, here is, a smaller carb. Whew, what an adjustment.

However, at least in theory, the 4 GC does hold an advantage for the Super 10.

Originally I ran it as the 327/300/293 with Quick Fuel 585 carb. As the numbers worked out I was 120 or so pounds too heavy for "B" but could not drop to "C" because the 327/300/293 makes it a natural "A" package.

The truck is as light as I can practically make it [within reason] To reduce it by 100 + pounds would require a moly cage and new moly back half. That is simply not a reasonable option

Enter the 327/250/270 with Rochester 4 GC.

Now I can run "C" and only be about 35 or so pounds heavy.

In addition, with an 11.10 index in "C" I may be able to move up a few places on the qualifying ladder.

So, we will see. I hear good feedback about the 4CG running well and being consistent. Yet, it sure is small
