Gear vendors...interesting. Could it be using up a little power even when NOT engauged I wonder...

I agree, the car needs a 9.5" or 10" GOOD (Dynamic, T/A, etc) converter. And yes, the 770 avenger is a good carb, but a little weak for that motor. You should go get a time slip with the 850 to really compare.

Also, "high-five" for the little pic and ink in last months Car Craft. (While you were on the anti-tour!

I have ran the car with both carbs and without the gear vendor can't say there was a much difference in et or mph. Well seemed to have a harder time hooking up with the 850 so it might be making some more tq. but the mph is about the same with both carbs. Really need to be able to stall it up higher on the line without blowing off the tires. Thinking of trying some caltrack rear suspension next on the list. Then mess with the converter I guess.

The anti-tour was a good time wanted to do it for years. Looking forward to next year maybe they will go back and do some racing like in the past.
