6-71 or 8-71?
I am getting ready to make the jump and put a blower on my 454. I have done a great deal of research on selecting which would be best size (6-71 or 8-71) for my application but can't seem to find any definitive answers. The motor is already a torque monster (Edelbrock performer package) built for bottom-end power (idle to 5500) but 470 lb/ft just isn't enough! I understand the advantages of both, i.e.
the 6-71 makes more boost at a lower engine RPM but the 8-71 produces less heat for the same amount of boost (on the same size motor). Does anyone have any real-world experience they can share? Also, I plan on running dual Edelbrock Performer 750's (AFBs) any thoughts on these carbs as opposed to running Holleys? Thanks in advance!
The Australians have finally discovered the origin of the word 'Vegan.' Apparently it's an old Aboriginal word for 'Bad Hunter.'
