Edelbrock 800 AVS carb tuning
I was wondering if anyone has used one of these carbs on a 454 or bigger street engine? I'm curious what jet/rod setup worked best. I have an out of the box carb that ran pretty lean 15:1 a/f at wot. (I have no plans of junking the carb for a holley) I spoke with the Edelbrock tech guy, and he suggested a simple rod change. It would seem to me that to obtain a 12.5:1 ratio at wot, I would need to go a couple jet sizes bigger.The moment somebody says to me, "This is very risky," is the moment it becomes attractive to me.
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
