  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

just thinkin' - 750cfm/850cfm dual plane intake info

Discussion in 'Small Block Tech' started by DEADMANSCURVE, Apr 6, 2013.

    DEADMANSCURVE my first word : truck

    this a carb thing but really , how i was looking at it anyway , pertains to the 350 mainly because most of the BBB guys run a bigger carb or single plane intake . 99% of the 350's here use a dual plane i would guess .
    june 2013 car craft page 40 - "ask anything" tech question section : a guy has a BBC and one part of his question was about carb size ( and he was using a dual plane ) - long story short - they mentioned that the higher velocity of a smaller cfm carb reacts negatively on a dual plane intake , the sharp turn ( especially on the high side of the plenum ) does not allow the gas particles to travel with the air particles effectively causing airflow disruption and uneven distribution . the larger carb and subsiquent slower airflow actually creates more usable power by way of better balance . just thinkin when i read it that it might explain why some here have better luck with larger than recommended carbs depending upon their combo . may also pertain to big q-jet secondarys opening up ? there were other things also affected like jetting and manifold vac etc . thought it might be worth lookin at .
    also a later question had some info on the metering block emulsion holes ( holley obviously ) .
    like i said - just thinkin' .
