Dear dirtygoat; The number that totalled is asking about is the venturi size. It is cast on the left rear side of the carb's main body. In the photo that you've provided, the casting circle is visible, however the venturi size number cannot be read. The casting circle is on the left carb housing...

Dear joshwho?: OK, I guess it's time to straighten you out. When I agreed to this relationship, I CLEARLY told you that I would not be available 24/7 and that we could see other people. In short, we are supposed to be in an OPEN relationship! And yet all I am hearing from you is "You never...

Dear WHITE TRASH; Yes, this is quite true. A 5-10% power loss due to parasitic drag just from turning the blower is to be expected with even higher losses in power at higher ratios. On the up side, a large displacement engine can typically produce more HP than what is viably usable on a typical...

Dear WHITE TRASH; No, of course not. I am not a homo-ghey *****, therefore I don't wish to turbocharge an engine. I believe in Roots type blowers for forced induction applications. This is what real men use and we leave the turbos and nos for the girly-men and other limp wristed types. Your...

Dear CHOP SHOP; Coincidentally, I want to build a gasser for my next street ride. My first car was a gasser and thus far it's been my ONLY gasser rod. It was a '55 Chevy with a Chevy truck front axle w/4" drop. It had lifted front Superlift springs and a 409 BB. Even though it's steering...

Dear White Trash; Get the fawk outta here, you little cockbiter. You're just stinking up the place with your redneck bullchit. Go back to your double wide and beat your wife and leave the rest of us alone. Like your nick states, you are nothing but white trash. You are worthless, just like your...

Dear group; Oh yeah, one thing that I forgot to mention in my last post. The 1,000 to 1,100 HP being produced by a SBC? That's with 100 octane racing fuel. With 92 octane premium, expect the HP output to be around 700 HP. Sorry guys, but that's life! Your friend; LAMAR

Dear group; For anyone who's interested, Gale Banks Engineering will cheerfully build up a 376 CID SBC that's capable of achieving 1,000 to 1,100 HP at the flywheel. The price? A paltry sum of 40,000$. http://www.bankspower.com/products/show/267/85 And I thought that a 1,000 HP BBC for 15,000$...

Dear group; When you're bench racing, sure! Anything is possible at that point. But why stop at 1,000 HP? Why not claim that a SBC can produce 2,000, 3,000 or even 4,000 HP? After all, if you're going to be talking out of your azz, why not REALLY talk out of your azz?:haha: Your friend; LAMAR

Dear S-Box; The fact that the block is a 2 bolt or a 4 bolt has nothing to do with how much boost it can handle. What does matter is what type of rotating assembly it has, if any. With higher boost pressures, a forged crank, rods and pistons are pretty much a requirement. Also, the upper end...

Dear Joshwho?; If you read post #155, you might read where I admitted to being incorrect. Therefore, you are arguing with yourself at this stage, and unless you feel strongly about it, you can stop at any time. Your friend; LAMAR

Dear Binder; Yes, when air is compressed it produces friction which is where the heat comes from. High octane fuels permit higher compression ratios in two ways. First, because they will not pre-ignite under a high compression load and second, because the higher octane fuel inside of the...

Go fawk yourself.:fawkdancesmiley:

Dear Binder; Actually volume is VERY important when discussing an engine's performance. I've also taken the liberty of asking a bud of mine (who now works for Garrett) why boost pressures in turbos seem to be so much higher than boost pressures for blowers. He informed me that the reason why is...

Dear WHITE TRASH; Hey dipshit, tell me how you can push 32 POUNDS OF PRESSURE through a 2.5" fawking inlet tube? Let's see if your shop's compressor can handle THAT type of requirement? :flipoff:Why YOU get the **** out of here with YOUR trolling? Your friend; LAMR

Dear mcbadwish; Heck no! Hook that puppy up to a 50 watt linear amp and blow everyone's doors off! People will be able to hear you throughout the state my friend! Of course, you still won't be able to hear THEM responding to you, but life goes that way. Actually, by fed law all CBs are limited...

Dear joshwho?; One. Last. Time. You are NOT producing 32 PSI of boost PRESSURE with ANY forced induction system! The engine cannot take that amount of PRESSURE. Please take note of the key word : PRESSSURE. You are obviously confusing PRESSURE with WEIGHT! Maybe this explanation will help...

Dear joshwho?; Oh yeah, I forgot one thing. The track used to be unlit and I don't know if anyone has added lights to it or not since the last time I was there, so if you plan on racing after dark make sure that your ride has working headlights. It tends to get a bit dark towards the finish line...

Dear joshwho?; if you want to see a REAL no rules, no holds barred, heads up, strictly run what ya brung, drag strip, google *YELLO BELLY DRAGSTRIP*. That strip has been around since before I was alive and it's still a no rules, *give the man yer money and take yer chances* drag strip. Oh yeah...

Dear joshwho?; By the way, that strip looked familiar to me. I recall a strip just like that one which had a couple of small rolling hills that started from the middle of the track to the finish line. It was just a bit south of Seattle IIRC. Beautiful strip, but always wet. Your friend; LAMAR
