Back to basics. Sorry if I have missed a discussion in a previous thread!
What is the advantage of the drop base? Sure a big-by-huge cleaner looks boss but is it worth it?
The way I see it, obviously is wrong so hang in there for a sec.
There is a larger area for air. Need air to breathe. So,
By lowering the base, it " seems to me " the lid is still going to be close to the carb throat. So, in my wrong view, what is the advantage? Does it help moreso than I am thinking?
Lets say the hood clearance is not a factor. Would it still breathe as needed with a 10 x 2 standard base compared with a 10 x 3 or 10 x 4 with a drop base?
So the base is dropped - the lid is not moved.
How is a drop base an advantage if the restriction is on the top side of the carb?
Again, sorry if I am beating a dead horse. Thanks for your patience :-)
