I had 20+ years of personal Holley tuning and thought I knew it all. Of course that was before I got unlimited access to a computerized chassis dyno that not only gave me air/fuel ratio, but access to real world rear wheel data across the RPM spectrum. Not only wide open throttle tuning and at idle, but a way to access a specific rpm and allow the dyno to hold that rpm for any given amount of time to get a fell for each engine and it's inherent quirks. The chassis dyno really gave me a wake up call and made me change the way I tuned a carb for street, track, or a mixture of the two. Feel free to come to NJ and I'll give you a chance to tune any carb on a specific engine (say a 351W/392hp Ford Crate engine) your way. Then I'll put the car on the dyno and tune it my way and we'll see who has better performance and driveability across the entire spectrum.....Again, without the experience of using the dyno, my eyes would not have been opened to just how wrong 70% of the carb tuners were at that time.
