That is a very big carby for a 308

yeah, thats why dyno guy said. next mod is a HP body for my 650 double pumper and single plane manifold. he said thatll pump it up around 20 horses at the fly, but wont make much difference to RWKW, maybe 5-10

biggest problem with too bigger carby is lean problems at high revs.. or you are wasting fuel and down on horses... matched solution is best in this case.. bigger not necessarily better.. GO EFI

the whole challenge behind this build is to make a 308 to go faster in a straight line than a R32 GTR. the clauses are that it must be 308, not stroked, and carb'd. its a work thing, everyone still takes the piss outta me for modding a commodore...

so this weekend was a commitment of re-doing my inlet manifold, because i descovered that i could no longer remove my distributor ?!?! anyways, refitted the manifold without dramas, fitted a 1 inch phenlonic spacer, cut the choke horn off my 650 DP an ground it down nice an flat and fitted that.

only to descover to my dismay that this carby is nowhere near setup for this engine in regards to power valve, jets, pump shots etc. so now i have to go through the whole precess of getting it all working efficiently again.

*sigh*
