    What does "high performance cam" mean exactly. Can you give us the part number? Knowing the specs on the cam will tell you how much ignition timing to put in the motor.

    Also, I like 4 1/2 to 5 psi on an Edelbrock/Carter with 1/2" delivery lines.

    MORE FUEL PRESSURE WILL NOT MAKE MORE POWER ON A CARBURETED MOTOR. ALL IT WILL DO IS TO OVERPOWER THE NEEDLE AND SEAT SPRING AND ALLOW THE PUMP TO BLOW RAW FUEL INTO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD, CREATING A TUNING NIGHTMARE FOR YOU. USE 4 1/2 TO 5 MAX ON AN EDELBROCK WITH BIG LINES FOR HIGH VOLUME, NOT HIGH PRESSURE.
