Default Tuners in SC

Is there anyone in the Upstate South Carolina area who is good to great with Holley carbs and timing curves? I have called all the performance shops around here and it’s all EFI. The art of the carburetor is lost

No issues yet, I haven’t even driven it yet to know if there even is any. I just want an optimum tune as best as it can get

Have you considered taking a stab at it yourself? There are a number of very helpful videos on YouTube showing how to dial in a Holley carb.

You must be the only guy that asks for help before you even have a problem. Lol

I’ve been reading a few books and I want to tune it for optimum performance. I doubt it’s perfect right out of the box.

My 4779 Holley DP was almost right on out of the box. One step leaner on jets front and back got it right on.

Yeah - I think they do any carb. I saw them w/ a 421 tri-power in their shop last week.

Pete is son - good guy. He is spec'ing a 4I50 holley for me. I'll damn sure have them do a Qjet for me (if Cliff wont' do it....).

I think ?Eric is the dad..
