[TPR] Asa's Tuesday update July 31

[John Bentley]

that carb is plenty for 120 MPH.  If you're going over 140, get something bigger.  Now you can worry about something else :)

Oh gee look...

I got word straight from the horses mouth 13 years ago on that carb.

It's a 600 cfm.  Methinks it's a bit -undercarbed- for this application, 
especially with the new engine going in.

Dang!  Need more budget.  May have to sell my left nut now and be twice 
the pussy I was before.  :)
