dont you wanna make sure all the gears work before I deliver it? 3300 is alot to spend without testing it out.......

 

Sorry dude,this is the post I was replying to.sounds like a nice trans tho.
My mistake

 

Well that's cool

 

Yes is does cost less, but saying more people can do it, I dunno, lots of people can "tune carbs" but there isn't as many as you think that actually know what they are doing IMHO. Goes for computer tuning, lots say they can, but.....

 

Ok well why is it that all dirt modified's except sprint cars are carb'd. Who tunes their carbs then if there isnt any body who knows what they are doing. I may know of 3-5 computer tuners within a 5 hour driving distance. Are you telling me thta there are as few number of carb tuners out there. I may not "know it all" but I have been around and if I were to have to start from scratch again I would be going carb hands down IMHO

 

Oh I know, there are lots of computer tuners around, I have access to a lot also, but in my past experience, I have found that there are good tuners which will improve things, then there are great tuners who will fine tune the important stuff. Carb guys are the same thing, a lot of guys can make things work, but then there are some who excel and do the fine things right. As far as why isn't there more fuelies in race, my personal opinion would be that carb systems are simple and easier to tune, so it is the greater population. I didn't say there is no one who can tune carbs, or computers either, what I am saying is that lots of guys think they are doing great, and they are really, but then the guys who excel at it are fewer in number than one thinks. Hope this explains myself more.

 

All I know of for computer tuners are about 5 places that wont eff your car up, all I am saying is there are 10 times as many good carb tuners as to the computer tuners. Go to your local dirt racing track as a example and I bet you will find at least 20 guys on those pitts that can properly tune that carb, I go to cayuga as a example and there may be 1 guy who can properly tune my computer. I understand what you are saying and I do understand the benifits of fuel injection but the more practical tried and tested of the two is a carb hands down

 

I am willing to bet that as times goes on less and less guys will be able to do the carb properly as fuelies become all the rage which is pretty much the case now. I guess it's sort of like the VHS vs DVD's.

 

A few years back, I had a 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340, which had a 6-pack carb setup, and when it came time to get the carbs set, there was only one old guy at Dodge City in Saskatoon, that could get it right, but when he was done with it, man that car was scary quick! I really miss that car, even though it's not a Mustang.

 

My thoughts exactly explained, there are lots of guys that can tune em, but there are a hell of a lot fewer that can fine tune em.
