Some either really like his stuff or do not like it at all.
I tried to run the 1050 but the "custom" spacer I bought with the intake was made from 1 1/2" plywood leaked, a little piece of the plywood was gone and it was sucking air. I could not get to idle down so I took it off. It sounded pretty mean while I had it on, you could tell it wanted to run. Just could not get the idle down below 2500 or so RPM.
I did fix the spacer though. Filled the little hole with Belzona and covered the whole thing with a special gasoline proof epoxy.
The billet 1100cfm 4150 carb I did make a few passes on. But it was way rich. Plugs were very dark and it even loaded up and died after a burnout. BUT, I did get a 1.39 60 foot out of the thing so when I get it dialed in I think it will be sweet.
I like those guys at Performance Carb. Father Son deal with a ton of knowledge. I was made to believe converting a 1050 3 circuit to a 2 circuit was some big deal. Nope, they informed me all of them start out as 3 circuit just the last little are not drilled all the way through. They simply sold me some custom metering blocks to turn mine into a 2 circuit.
Hopefully I will get a Friday test and tune this month. They told me I could call them up after passes for tuning advice just like a dyno session. Great guys.
