When I reached the countdown to the trap I was already doing just shy of that to bank time before the Narrows. I consciously pressed the accelerator a bit more to push her up to a goal 135 MPH, but nothing happened.<br><br>I speculate at 130 MPH, I'm using up all the carb, or all the fuel pump. One, the other, or both.<br><br>The Carb is a Ford stamped Holley list with these numbers:<o:p></o:p></p><pre>D8PE-9510-KA<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>LIST 8414<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>3113<o:p></o:p></pre><p class=MsoNormal>This link shows my email back in 1999 with info from Holley that I obtained.<br><a href="http://poca.com/detomaso/1999-09/329.html">http://poca.com/detomaso/1999-09/329.html</a><br>Apparently it's a 600 cfm. it has vacuum secondaries and three-quarter turn emission lockouts on the mixture screws. I've put a standard rebuilt kit through it once or twice. It's been a really good carb, but I don't know it will pull more than 130 MPH.<br><br>What to do.<br>As always, money is a bit of an issue. I'd like to install EFI but that's really expensive.<br>I'd like to keep it responsive at low rpm like she is now, but still have the throughput needed at higher rpm at top speeds. I think this leans me toward a vacuum secondary rather than mechanical. I'm sure the cfm needs to be cranked up, but would 650 do it or should I head for 700 or higher?<br><br>Does anyone have one they'd be willing to part with?<br>Should I send mine into someone like Chuck Nuytten and have them do their magic on it, replacing metering blocks and other mods?<br>Should I just buy a new one?<br><br>The engine is a 351C bored .030 over, stock stroke.<br>Heads are DOAE, quench chamber.<br>Cam is a Crane hydraulic roller with these specs<br><img border=0 width=771 height=685 id="_x0000_i1025" src="cid:image001.png@01CEF418.B57577D0"><br>Intake is an FPP 4145<br>Stock ZF transmission<br><br>I've got some time so I'm looking for some informed/experienced opinions on what carb would be best.<br><br>And since Professor Engles from the Midwest Division of the Pantera Research Institute is engaged with Fuel pump questions, I'll just follow his thread on that part. :)<br><br>Thanks,<br>Asa Jay<br><br><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><pre>-- <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Asa Jay Laughton, MSgt, USAFR, Retired<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>& Shelley Marie<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Spokane, WA<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>****************************** <o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="http://www.racingagainstautism.com">http://www.racingagainstautism.com</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="http://www.teampanteraracing.com">http://www.teampanteraracing.com</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="http://facebook.com/racingagainstautism">http://facebook.com/racingagainstautism</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre>-- <o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Asa Jay Laughton, MSgt, USAFR, Retired<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>& Shelley Marie<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Spokane, WA<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>****************************** <o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="http://www.racingagainstautism.com">http://www.racingagainstautism.com</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="http://www.teampanteraracing.com">http://www.teampanteraracing.com</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="http://facebook.com/racingagainstautism">http://facebook.com/racingagainstautism</a><o:p></o:p></pre></div></body></html>
