APD tends to push Max Speed carbs that are way too large for the engine application. I borrowed a early Max Speed 1050 a few years ago and had great success with it on a 582 engine . When I had them build me one they sent one that was much larger in CFM ,the consistency was not there and it had to be run at a much higher cruise RPM.
I now use a Stinnett baseplate stop from Number 1 Stop and a ATM carb built for my combination. Deadly consistent and absolutely the best fuel curve I've ever seen while on the stop. ATM also makes an excellent baseplate stop.

Tom Goldman I've watched the Stinnett videos on Luke Bogacki's site and the smaller carb theory seems the way to go. Brian at ATM was very helpful and so was Joey at APD. Since its a large $$ purchase, I only want to make it once..lol!! I still need a data logger also.

Order a Stinnett carb and then call Gary Heuer at Number stop to get a throttle stop. Gary Heuer is a great asset and so helpful.

I don't subscribe to the smaller carb theory and we have done very well. Last edited by 1320racer; 08-28-2023 at 12:06 PM. |

I recently purchased a billet stop from #1 Stop.. it has all the bells and whistles as the Stinnet and APD stops.. Gary is great to deal with, will pre-set your stop to your combination, and will save you money over the other brands.. I also found the billet #1 Stop to have a bit more consistency over the #1 Cast Stop, which is also good if you don't want to spend for the billet stop.. #1 STOP is highly recommended..

I’ve been running the max speed for a while. It takes time to get the jet/restrictors tuned but it’s deadly once you get it.
