I`m running the Road Paver cam in my 10.3 compress 463. It`s got a Sanden compressor and it needs a kick up solenoid.

I see you have a Performance Carb carburetor . How do you like it ?
I have 2 of them and hopefully I will get around to tunning them this summer.
A 1100+ cfm 4150 billet carb and a 1050 3 circuit they converted to a 2 circuit for me. Its coated all black, pretty cool lookin IMO.

Mainly spot on. It a little lean on the "top of the primaries". Haven`t tuned it at all. It won`t need much. Idles very clean for a 246/254 cam. Runs better than Pat`s tune [Pro Systems].

I thought Pat was a Pontiac guy who built "the best" carbs ?
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.

CI and dyno number if you please.
