Should I modify my 750dp, or just go bigger?
Least expensive way to go large is the proform mainbody.
Will flow about the same as the 80496 950hp carb.
Thats the part that has me stumped. I know in the end its just numbers and whatever works best, works best, but the numbers help me understand it lol.
So, it would let the same amount, or similar, to the 950hp. Are the throttle plates the same diameter? I haven't done alot of research, and I know I shouldn't assume, but I am lol. I assumed the 850 and larger Holleys would have larger bores/plates, and like anything larger, on the same engine the bigger ones would flow more air, just slower. So, am I right assuming the 750 with a proform body would have more velocity? And the increase in flow would come not from volume, which would basically stay the same, but from less restrictions in the path of airflow? That would lead me to assume a carb like that would have better street manners, response, etc.
Am I overthinking this?lol
I guess, bang for the buck, would be either my 750, or an 850 (they go for about the same price used) if I sold my 750, and get a proform body for either of them. Tthat would get me behind the wheel the quickest!
Maybe down the road I could get a 950hp, when my finances are a little better. Hell, for that matter, I could get a main body when my finances are better.
This train of thought brought me back to selling my 750 and finding a good used 850.
Back to the question, and the above million questions, other than the main body swap, is there really anything else you can do cheaply to increase aiflow on my 750?
Btw, thanks for the answers so far!
