I don't see the phase thing at all I still think they have plenty of up side left in the value of a original piece with old dated on carbs. repro is crap and will always be looked down on. the current flood of 4295 holley's on ebay are the recently re-released version a large carb vendor form down south commissioned holley to do. you'll be seeing many of the good list# holley's popping up soon nos with old dates (buyer beware).I will make a bold prediction an say that a crossram car will be the highest of all record setting priced camaro's in the future. The AL M 68z convertible or one of the penske trans am cars (probably the 69 championship car) expect to see the million dollar mark if the market stays on the same track it's been on the last couple of years. I see that inturn influencing the value of the rest of the z28's with real gm crossrams especially ones with gm jl8's.
As far as tuning my car my crossram car has same jetting specs as Kerry's car much leaner than oem,my power valves are higher # than his due to different cam, and looser valve setting's had a noticeable effect on starting ease. I kinda like the fact that the guys that don't know how to tune a holley don't like the setup. sorta weeds out the poser's.
As far as drivability you could take my car or Kerry's coast to coast without a second thought. make sure you bring your shell gold card though.
The sound is different when your foots in the gas too, make more of who's your daddy kind'a roar, sounds like it's trying to suck you hood down through the carbs worth all the money just to listen to it through chambered exhaust don't think i turned the radio on since i put the setup on and who ever says they slow a timid motor down hasn't been in one. midrange and top end are a dramatic improvement. go to a vintage trans am you will see the 2x4 cars noticeably outpull the single 4 barrel cars. I'll never forget the first time I saw the old penske crossram camaros 67 68 and 69 car vintage race at Watkins glenn impressive power. but the best was at the Monterey classic a couple of years back live on the speed channel when I think it was pat ryan in his crossram car running in second on the last lap last corner when he snuck alongside the the mustang leading the race.then in a flat out drag race to the checker stomped the mustang by a car length. in a post race interview pats comment was (with a ear to ear grin) "a finish like that just goes to show you two for barrels are better than one"
CROSSRAM $20,000... EMBARRASSING A FORD LIVE ON NATIONAL TV.... PRICELESS!
