900 CFM V. 1200 CFM Dyno anyone??
The debate continues. I know, I thought this had been put to rest too.. But the little voice in my head is screaming at me.. 1200 CFM is TOO MUCH CARB!!!!!
So what to do?? I ordered a pair of nifty Barry Grant Road Demon 525 CFM carbs prepared to love the results.. I did love the results.. Except the standard Ford 8V linkage doesn't clear their oh so sexy float bowls.. Doh.. Does anyone have actual or virtual experience (dyno 2000 program) with a set of Holley 1850-2, 600 CFM carbs. with vacuum secondaries V. the Holley 0-9776 450 CFM carbs. with mechanical secondaries..
How much is lost with the 600's when employed with a standard med rise 427, ok.. 433 if you include the .015 over bore @ 10.5:1, 306 degree duration cam at .050 With heads employing a flat tappet, roller rocker 2.25" /1.75" valves (tunnel port valves).. We know at a volumetric efficiency of .95 you "need" little more than 730 CFM..
That is a net of 40% over carburation with the 600's.. 900 CFM is 20%.. What if you re jet the 450's to .060 primary jets V. .058 (a 10%increase) and use the standard (plate secondaries) Does it help or hurt the equation?... Numbers never lie.. They just confuse us.. We know what grouchy did.. What should I do.. Then there is that 4v highrise I saw on e-bay for $1,000.00 Hmmm.
Any thoughts?? Sorry.. (in advance)
