Hey, if you guys were really paying attention you noticed I skipped the last couple of intake discussions. From now on any intake/cam question will be given the approved LS1TECH carb forum answer of Edlebrock 2216 and RPM performer. No sense fighting it anymore. Street = dual plane, Strip = single. Figure that way there will just be that many more slow cars out there I can beat.
I was gonna skip this discussion too but contributed for two reasons. First is because I followed the same advice from this site when I first got started. 50 cc pump, hollow screws, brown cams, massive nozzles, basically just dump enough gas on the floor of the intake and let the motor pick up what it needs. Realized this is very easy way to tune a carb to run WTFO.
But after some time running that way I realized it doesn’t do much for normal driving. An accel pump just doesn’t do much when the throttle is just lightly moved. Then there was always a handful of guys on here who didn’t need the bigger pumps. Something didn’t connect.
So no problem. If you want to be one of those guys who tunes a carb only through bolts ons like jets and accel pumps but are afraid to touch an intermediate circuit, then hey, no problem. 2 out of 3 circuits tuned right isn’t bad. Just always stay in the throttle and it’s all good. I mean after all, “that’s what the car wants”.
The other reason I contributed is a personal fault, but the only way to learn is to ask questions. Sometimes if you challenge peoples line of reasoning it forces them or someone else to explain things in a way that finally makes sense. You wouldn’t believe the number of people I irritated about steam vents before I got that one straight in my head. Thank you John McGraw.

So it goes like this?
pop n wood-single plane and no 50cc pump
zone89rs-2215/2216 edelbrock cam
newschool72-gmpp dual plane
Feel free to add to it
