Does this change your race with X at C5 Fest?
More likely than not if i buy it. He'll probably have the Maxim done by then and wanted to bring it. I'd have the brakes and carb rebuilt too so I'll probably drop the 50 bucks to drag and dyno it for a baseline.

I've got a buddy that will help with the brakes. It's just that t fitting and then brake bleeding and she can drive until the carb seals turn to dust. He's just had to pump the gas to prime it for now. I'm guessing the metering pins are done.

I've rebuilt bendix aircraft carbs, not that hard to adjust and rebuild for a car. It won't fly.

LMAO. Probably do 15s in the 1/4 though. Well, with the LG4 maybe low 16s actually...

The T fitting will take you 30mins. Agreed about the carb rebuild, but you should do it right away--it'll make a night and day difference in driveability. Or checkout ebay and craigslist for a used Holley or Edelbrock. I've seen them for dirt cheap lately. Might not cost you much more than the cost of a rebuild kit--and you could keep the stocker as a spare!

That's why I tune the carb. She'll get a GMPP 350 HO crate (7K otd with all accessories attached) around 2012 unless I decide to pick up a 1LT/RS

350 crank 380 some odd tq.

I actually have a barely used edelbrock 600 but it doesn't have a choke on it.

Wonder if I can swap the choke off the Robinson/whatever they have stock on the LG4.
