    I run a 350 CFM Holley 2300 2bbl on my Turbocharged 200 I6.. of course it will need tuning but it was easy enough to mod for boost. Runs good w/o boost, I have yet to put boost into iy

    I thought about running a Holley 500cfm 2BBL . I see the circle track guy run them in there class . I am sure my car would have a good 60ft time with one of them on it . I am not sure how the top end would be ?

    Well, if you think about it Denny, the Edelbrocks come with an initial setting of 2 and 1/4 turns out. The front carb should be largely out of the picture as the rear one is the primary. By putting the front at 1/2 and going in to 2 on the rear, you are ending up with about what one carb would normally be set at.

    ive thought about those jet extensions but have never had that problem of running out of fuel on the top end, had a predator once worked awesome, as for good daily driveability i say q-jet and ive seen guys hop them up a bit and they actually work good!
