    quick carb question

     



    A friend of mine wants to sell me a brand new, never been used eddie 750 cfm carb to put on my stock chevy 427. I'm currently running a puny 570 cfm holley street avenger. Im trying to achieve that balance so that im not starving my motor and getting poor fuel economy and poor performance; but at the same time I don't want to drown it and get the same problem. Will the 750cfm be too much???

    That is a good fit for your 427, way better then the mini carb you have now. You wont drown it if you jet it propperly, it will just be set right for the larger amount of air coming in.


    Live everyday like it were your last, someday it will be.
