There aren't many old cars out there that can hang with the injected cars, doesn't that seem like a problem?

Nope, doesn't seem like a problem to me. If the carb cars were better, we would be back to racing carb combos. If they combined stick with autos, we would put five speeds in our cars.

Tom, I didn't think I was jumping on you, I simply pointed out that you decided the car and combo you run. I didn't think it was being personal. If youre going to build a combination for your car, shouldn't you build the most favorable?? Or should you build the combination that's been hammered and beat on?? There are still carb combos out there that are still favorable.

I'm not offended, I built what I like. Yes there are other combos. I was not trying to make it about me at all just some of the real situations out there. By the way Sean what size throttle body is on your combo? I don't know anything about injected cars. Or any lt1 l98 deal

Its a 48mm throttle body, smaller than your average carb.

grncpe · 03-09-2016, 09:17 PM

Thanks, 48mm flows 650-700 cfm. That answers all my questions.

What questions would that be??

Fuel injected has nothing to do with it. Those cars have better cylinder heads and more compression than most carb engines. Ask Bobby or Jeff Warren what they saw on their dyno when Bobby put a Quadrajet on his LT1.

Alex Kadar and I came within one more round win of having a heads-up DF/S race in Rnd.4 (of the Carquest Nationals), but our Rnd 3 redlights through a couple of flies in the ointment of that happening...I know I'd have probably lost the race (given Alex had a .9 sec advantage on me in that race), but I would've earned an extra $100 bucks, and Alex would've earned (at least) an extra $150 for making it to the semi's....that would've been "Way Cool"!!!!
