It's always something. Just found another problem with my rear end tonight. More money??

Carbs are nice & simple. I run quick 8, T/S type stuff where you dial in.
It's worth the ease of maintenance & tuning for the little bit, if any ET I lose.
Even with 2 big daddy carbs, it's much cheaper to get started & tune.

and dont cheap out on the ignition... a good ignition box will cost about the same not counting a flying magnet and distributor...

those are the main things that make a motor run... get good ones...

Yep,

Good carb, digital MSD box, flying wheel, billet digital distributor...

Now if you just want a nice 400ish hp motor then just a nice car, distributor and box.

What parts were you using? I had an old carb but it was a nice one and it ran like a champ.

I'm happy with mine overall for what it is but I will eventually go back to fuel injection. I'm still running the stock computer to control the ignition and I haven't had any issues what so ever with it so far. The car has been low 9's (hopefully soon to be high 8's) with this setup and a big shot. Just letting you guys know that you don't HAVE to buy a MSD box to run a carb. The stock computer will do everything you need unless you are building an all out go to hell setup.

If your already FI, why go Carbed unless some class rules you need to meet?

If you dont have a good reason to go carb, dont. If you have a long block, and youre putting it into something not originally LSx EFI than its cheaper for a 6010 and carb than a harness and ECU.

My LS is carbed and is converted for a distributor also. I went from a 4150 style Pro-Systems 750 to a 1050 Dominator (no pic with the 1050 yet)and I am very happy with it. I do not have an ignition box on mine. I plan on installing a Mallory Hyfire Digital box soon for the benifit of the timing retard and rev limiter functions.

how do you not have an ignition box? I thought you needed one with this setup? Where is Oak Ridge at in Missouri?
