Bought a quadrajet from carb builder x and I was told to buy from carb builder y. X was slower front half and Y was slower in back half. Same ET.
Take the rubber seal off where hood meets firewall. Found out it wasn't legal. Put seal on and it went faster.
Had square lipped seal on brake calipers. Put the round type seal on and have less drag. No ET gain.
I quit at 8 converters for one motor combo.
Monte has more frontal area then Camaro so you need more gear. Went from 5.67 to 5.86 nothing gained but a couple more RPM's at finish line.
