"You'll lose your lower end!"
"You'll drown it in fuel!!!!!!"
"The computer chart says... cfms's!!!!
"Blah Blah Blah BLAH !!!!!"
I've heard it all, but the wind is out of my sail to continue the beat. I simply walk away. I say "ok", then smile. I will charge to explain it anymore. LITERALLY! You will PAY me before I go rounds again and explain it to you. LOL :D
Shelby, now there's a name. A recognizable name. A name that's tied to performance. What did he know?? Obviously, not much!! Because he put over 700 cfm Holleys on 289's. Yes, if you bought a Shelby 289 Mustang, you got a over 700 cfm Holley.
Yes, those 715 cfm "Lemans" vacuum secondary carbs may not have been optimal, but the fact that they're vacuum and not a DP kept things civilized. What is the cfm rating on the ol' 1987 318 Dodge diplomats' quadrajets? Or how does 1350 cfm on a 440 6-pack's trio of Holleys work? It just DOES!
