Default DaVinci what?

Yeah... My friend has one on his SPF and the Shelby motor was built, installed, and supposedly setup and dyno'd by a known engine builder. Turned out to be mostly hype if you ask me. I was curious about this so called custom tuned carb and had multiple cars/carbs to compare and swap with as needed...

The carb did not work very well for street or track type use until various changes were made and required - unfortunately. By the time we were done with it... rejetting / squirters / powervalves and settings, we realized the previous owner of the car could have just bought an HP/Holley for less $ with better results by making the same changes as per my standard Holley/HP. After the final tweaks, he's able to roast 'em pretty good now when rolling on hard in 3rd gear even with sticky 17" Michelin Pilots. Big difference. Good Luck.
