Anyone have any opinions on what book to buy, to understand my Holley 4150? I have an HP 1000, and want a good book to read over the Winter, to tune my Holley next year. I want to tune it for power, and for driveability. Is there such a book out there, that will teach me both? Or am I better off buying a couple. I will have more time to read, and less to drive, from here on out. Thanks. Regards, John.
I like this one. http://amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/104-5049427-3954329?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=holley+carb
By the way, I bought a new holley (1000 HP 4150) from Summit Racing in 1999-2000, I believe. I could never get the thing running right. Years later I had the car on a dyno and the operator detected problems with the carb. He took it off turned it upside down and found that the base was for a 750. The Holley techs said that could never happen and after I sent them the carb, low and behold, I got an apology from the managment and a new carb sent the next day! The manager said the carb will be setting on his desk for a long time to come to show the crew that they even make mistakes. I asked him if he could tell how many others are having problems like mine. He wouldn't comment.
I have this one http://www.amazon.com/Holly-Carbure...1486565?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1194954235&sr=8-6 It has helped me a lot. Covers not just the 4150 carb but the whole intake subject and some of the others as well, like the 4500 for example, and some mods.
