as long as you are not running dual overhead cams it is easy to pump

so being just a fan of class racing, i see a lot of comments about boosters and carb stuff. what are horsepower gains that can be found in carb details..

There is Plenty!!!!

Especially on Lower Class cars that are Carb CFM limited.

I know more BUT: Better not say any more!

I have made back to back testing.

I think, for once, I'll just keep my mouth shut.

I bracket race so I've been keeping out of this, but I will tell you that a 1/4 turn of a screw on a carb is an eat or be eaten decision on the track. I can't believe how people learn to fine tune these darn things like they do let alone "cheat" on the dozen or so variables that are in there to "vari" with. Fuel supply to the motor is so critical that not enough at high rpm will kill the engine.

Ok, no name asshole wannabe here, I wish somebody would police 66-7 B body stockers with 10” wheels with 4” of backspace and narrowed rearends.

I wonder how a narrowed rear could help when it's the springs and wheel wells that are in the way.

The wider wheel allows a "larger" contact patch of the slick, so they make it so it has say 4" back spacing instead of needing 3 6/32nds back spacing mainly because off the shelf wheels are easier to find then custom offset.

You would need a wider rear not a narrowed rear to use more back space.
