I had picked a a double pump carb at a swap meet last year, for less than a $100, and tossed it on a pile of holleys for future use. I was really surprised to find it was an 830 cfm (80509).
As an experiment, I soaked it, kitted it, downsized jets, and front squirter, then stuck it on my son's 340, that was running a well tuned 780.
When he came home from work, I suggested he take his car for a drive.
He came back with a big **** faced grin, asking what I had done.
Looks like I won't be getting that carb back any time soon.. lol
I gotta admit it wasn't really the response I had expected, and was pleasantly surprised.
Yeah, I know a few will say it'll lack crispness across the crosswalk, that's why I downsized the squirter.. and my son doesn't care who beats him across the crosswalk, as long as he's ahead at the finish line. lol
cheers
