Gotta say tho, he replaced my 825 Demon with his Holley 830 HP on my 351, jetted it & the car went 2.5 tenths quicker .....

For what seems like a fairly small increase in size ( I am guessing) 2/5ths seems like a nice increase, congrats

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

Well if people learned how to read plugs aand understand them theyd be better at it ...they just think it easy... fine tuning is an art but most carbs nowadays are tuned close enough outta the box based on combo and if you go with a Pro System deal Patrick will definitely tell you what you need its all good Basic guys can expect alot of talk about what carb and what not but really read about your parts understand what they do so you grasp the cocept many dont and struggle trying to understand why there car is pig rich or lean they cannot diagnose and for those car guys you need deep pockets ...information for everything is on the web read not saying its going to cure everything but will give you a great baseline and go from there its trial and error it takes many attempts to tune properly there are no short cuts

Now then it's my turn for sarcasm. I guess the manufacturers have gone to f/i because it is not as reliable etc. I had my 82 GP tuned up twice a year and since I have never had to tune a f/i car. Last tune-up was in 1990
