[concobra]

Responding to your inquiry: What type carburetor and price.

The carburetor is a 1000 cfm Holley HP series. With custom booster venturies and other features. The price was approximately $950.00. From face value this may seem high. But please remember I did not have to do anything but bolt it on and go. When considered against the time, cost and trouble it take to custom calibrate a carburetor this is a fair price. In addition Patrick finished it and shipped it exactly when he said he would.

For the sake of discussion. Let me share that we just re-did the engine. Modifications include the following:

1. Increase in compression from 9.5:1 to 10:57.1.
2. Elimination of the "dirty" area under the combustion chamber.
3. Replacement of the Performer RPM manifold with a modified Victor JR.
4. Replaced the Hyd Roller with a Solid Roller.
5. SENT THE CARB BACK TO PATRICK WHO REVISED CALIBRATION AND SET UP FOR THE NEW COMBINATION.

I am going to the dyno this week on Thursday to see if the modifications helped. (Hopefully we will not blow it up!!!!!) Dyno time always makes me real nervous.

If your curious I will let you know how close the carb. is this time and if the modifications helped.
