What about the C&S Specialties Aerosol cab which has the metering nozzles in each of the four bores so might provide more even fuel distribution with improved fuel atomization/vaporization if that is what would benefit the particular application. It looks like the owner of Silverback carbs previ...

I copied the following from the Joe Gibbs Driven website - lots of good information there. http://www.joegibbsdriven.com/trainingcenter/learn/syntheticmistakes.html Common Mistakes Of Using Synthetic Oil Wanna start an argument? Just start talking about synthetic motor oils with a group of racers. Y...

Thanks Mike for posting this additional information as I think it is beneficial in a number of ways and look forward to seeing similar type info for the big block shootout.

I'm not particularly concerned about who finished where, but would like to know how much difference there was between the best and worst of the top eight at least. I mean was there enough difference between those to make a real difference? SKeown From my understanding, in the small block shootout t...

1st/3rd ebleed is .028

I am going to play a little on the dyno to see if it likes the smaller bleeds for the hsab and ebleeds.

What size PVCR's are you using with this set-up? Is it strictly a track car?

Its easy , buy the CHEAPEST carb in the "shoot out" .... and your good to go .... Sigh... More cheap shots... How about buying a carb off one of the companies who had the balls to attend? Leaves your chosen vendor out my friend... [-X i'm not going to "sigh" to make this easier ...

So how did the SV-1 Carb do??? Looks like a super cool carb and seems to work for the few people I know who have run it. Would be interesting to see the numbers. But I think the real quality of a carb is how it responds (coming off of corners or coming out of the hole), not total HP. Not sure how y...

there have been countless cylinder head shoot outs, camshaft shoot outs, intake manifold shoot outs, header shoot outs, mufflers etc etc etc. we make our buying decisions on the details given in those contests. maybe we would base our decision on who made the best avg tq? or maybe the best avg hp? ...

i would like to see a little more commentary in regards to who is in the dyno room and behind the switches, maybe a picture of the carb before it is installed, something like 'he had a spike through 5g and is changing the high speed air bleed', etc. make it more like golf or some other sport, that ...

I would suggest you just contact Shane Weckerly from Holley and ask him about their results in the SB Shootout and then you will know and can utilize that information however you wish whether that be to make a personal carb selection or other. I'm sure BLP or others who entered the contest can comme...

So in the final analysis, this was kind of like NASCAR advertising the best Daytona 500 for about 6 months, then having it in secret, then posting the first and second place finishers, then saying they are not going to say anything else because they don't want to upset anyone. This is just going to...

I think some of you guys are way off base thinking there was a lack of integrity at this competition. With a company like BLP hosting the event along with all the companies who were entered that would be the last thing I would be questioning. If you need to hear it from a "non-custom" carb...

I thought they posted the top two from each stage of the competition? At least that's the way i read it. At the end of the day the top eight were all within a bees dick of each other & you would buy from whomever you are comfortable dealing with. Just seems to me there a guys on here getting th...

Wouldn't you just look at who won the out of the box pulls? AED & Braswell were top two for both classes. Make a decision on who suits you better & buy from them, nothing simpler. If you are good tuner the Holley looks like good value. I have only seen posted who the "Out of the Box&qu...
