Carb or DFI? Im sick of my carberator.

[montessgtp]

Kinda of made me pissed that he said reconsider my setup LOL 2800$ is alot to reconsider...well this morning i went to PEP BOYS and bought a brand new edelbrock 750...and 75% of my problem went away. I need someone who can really custom tune one since my engine isnt a normal small block. I was told to go w/vortec heads by a lot of people i got the set i stated from jegs and there great heads. I was sworn i would not have cracking issues w/these. Machine shop who over hauled them also informed me the same.

I was told my low rpm drivablity is in relation to my cam/5 speed transmission. but im not sure.

oh the fun of building cars.

[geoffinbc]

Yep no Carburetor works right out of the box no matter how much a company tries to tell you it will. They all take fine tuning. Jets, metering rods, idle mixture, idle speed, etc all take work to get right.

junglenut - WTF?

get some research done before you tell someone that their vortec heads are the weak link. they are out of the box the BEST production gen1 small block GM head you can buy. easy to get 400hp/400tq out of unported box stock heads.

monte - i suggest you register at a forum with good V8 people - nastyz28.com has a bunch of excellent people that dont care if you have a camaro or not with years and years of small block esperience and excellent knowledge. this forum is great for 60* v6 but i think you need some professional help. basically do not listen to anything that jungleboy wrote and you are on the right track.

Fuck you

I got a whole book on just engine build ups.

[Juglenaut]

But fuck I don't know shit, I built many matched builds...

I had it with this site frell...this that where there, this is better than that junk is where you sit so post where to get what you want to be told..The date 1974 gave me the calcualtion to suspect that the car has less emmision restrictions why the hell would you put a emmissions engine in a 1974 Camaro. Monte or any V* in that year...So why don't you what to build a 383 stroker when you can put it in there with no certifications. If you listen to everyones else praise about something then you will believe it is good before even trying it. I don't give a fuck what heads are superior, but again the casting Turbo head has been and always will be better for durability and power up to 700hp

ENOUGH...to you yourself and take your problems else where because you don't know what the hell your doing.

Give me just one more reason not to ever post again.

[montessgtp]

Dude what the hell are you talkin bout?
First off all did u even read the post...the engine 1974 4 bolt main in 1986 Monte SS....How is that engine a emission engine?

Your claiming none of us know what the hell where talking bout....i went from a question bout a carberator to you telling my setup is wrong. My problem wasnt with making Horse power and tq is was with my car carberator giving me problems. If i wanted to build a 383 stroker i would of but obviously i didnt. I built what i intended to which makes plenty of power for me. I indeed went with a new carberator which helped my problem but further tuning is required. Here all your nonsence bout my setup not being thought out right is bull shit so shut the fuck up.

Here's one: You're an asshole that thinks he knows everything about anything and in reality you don't know shit.

[Juglenaut]

Well I guess I forgot to look at the year of the car, but even still a 1974 in a 1986.,..

So are you are telling me what everyone else is on this board, well some people..

At least I don't reword other peoples explanations...

When I look at a question if I think it has been answered I don't goto off on a tangent and say something else that has already been sai in the previous post.

I am still sticking to my word that your cam is bung, V-tech headshave to properly tuned and if they arn't a sportmans Heads can out perform it hands down. If you what High RPM power change your cam if you what to balance it lower get a comperable head or tune the one you got. Larger ports arn't always the answer, either are larger valves it can actually hurt the perf..

But agian I am the BFA that know everything and anytime I express my view it an opinion.

Yes Vortecs are popular but so are hundereds of other set-ups...sheet V-techs go for 150 each or less

You are not that innocent...I am not just pointing out I am saying in general this site is going to hit the floor if people are going to keep flaming...

[dykz34]

I never said I was innocent! I don't go off the wall telling people to fuck off like you did in this thread... This site is going to hell because YOU are flaming everyone. This thread and another come to the top of my mind (BlownL67). Guess what? YOU instigated BOTH of those fights. All I'm saying is take it easy or you'll get a vacation.

[Juglenaut]

No need I am done with this crap.

what he said. oh sweet you have a book. i have real experience. we built a mild 355 that needed to pass emissions with 9.5:1 compression, box stock vortec heads, a performer vortec intake, a comp cams XE268H, stock 1.5 stamped rockers, little edelbrock 600cfm vac secondary carb, stock HEI distributor, and cheapo junk headers w/ a pair of catco cats and summit turbo mufflers and put 320hp and 380ft lbs TO THE WHEELS.

wtf are these "turbo heads" you keep talking about anyway? BAH!

go away, dave doesnt like you.

[dykz34]

Good. I'm sick of listening to your bullshit.

[montessgtp]

Turbo heads "292" 340292 Where stock heads on most 327's and 350's 2.02/1.60" valves, 64CC combustion chambers on most.... I believe these to be also called camel hump heads but with diffrenct casting? Most camel heads were 461 n 561 i believe...not to sure since i wasnt even born when these heads where in production. Ironically these where the heads i through in the trash after gettin my Vortec heads...

When I look at a question if I think it has been answered I don't goto off on a tangent and say something else that has already been sai in the previous post.

No instead you run your mouth bout shit you nothing bout. Information is alway appreciated when it comes from educated source...even from someone who isnt downing someone else arrangment but instead tryin to help them make the most of it. Which is what i thought this site was bout. However this not bein bout a 60degreev6 guess i was wrong in asking for some advise. Appreciated if someone closes this thread so no one else had to read this crap.

[SappySE107]

Yup, its 60V6 but in off topic you can post about anything you could possibly want to ask about. I know nothing about them though, and wish I could tune the carb on the 74 cutlass but oh well. I didnt understand what a head had to do with carb tuning. Locked.
