Default Re: Anybody Actually Goin' Fast With a Holley 3 BBL?

I beleive the centet squirters are specific for dual quad applications, so the idle circuit would not work well for 8 cylinders.

Interesting comment about the metering block on the 950. As for ajustable air bleeds, they are great for fine tuning, especially when A/F ratio is fat on lean in a particular area, but great otherwise. If you think of the fuel traveling up a soada straw and an air bleed as a crack in the side of the straw, fine tuning the fuel signal is a little easier to comprehend.

If goals for a 3 barrel are to be a low 11 second carb, I trust you can get it there. It would be nice to have some sort of baseline, but we can always start with the the mechanical kit and squirter mod and see where you are at.

Interestingly enough, Mark Hasset Jr brought a wide band 02 setup to tune the Phase III car with at this year's SCR. I really think it's a nice way to tune A/F whether we're talking EFI or carbs. Unfortunately, they broke a pushrod and did not get far on the tune.

Now I beleive Mark's Phase III L88 has run 11's, how deep into the 11's and with which carb I don't know. Maybe he'll see this and post.
