What's your car make, 430 or some shit?
I'm as calm as they come my friend. I post a picture and you all jump down my throat over an opinion I have....
No 497whp and runs 10's nothing special
yes sir!!
Well, he's has to wear a helmet all the time, so we treat him a little special. Really though..trash talk is only allowed in SD.
I didn't jump down your throat, just making a observation to your reaction of somebody's car.
Vids or pics of time slips?
I think you guys have me all wrong lol but your opinion on me can be what you wish.
But yes sorry about the smack talk. It's what car guys do.
Yep I have videos and pics
Picture of slip
Here is my speedo video of my 10.8 run and so if you think I'm BSing look at the videos in my channel of me racing my old 2011 hellion TT car that's described in my sig

Looks like fuel injection to me.
It is... but a mechanical fuel pump vs in-tank pumps like most stock cars have..
I understand. But I don't understand ripping the fuel injection off of a vette when people have gone plenty fast with fuel injection. In my eyes it ruined the car. But for some reason everyone jumps in and says I hope he takes your money like I was saying my car is so bad ass when I never said one thing about it lol
OP, you're gonna get drug. That car is more then likely set up for kill mode at the track
Make sure you sit down for this OP. Don't want you to have a heart attack
Do you think I'm Chevy loyal? lol I've only had turbo mustangs before the vette.
In fact, I have a 2014 coyote in my driveway right now that I'm installing a Paxton 2200 and stainless works longtubes. I work on fords more then Chevys. Actually the only Chevy I've ever worked on was my vette doing the cam. But putting that ford motor in that vette I feel is pointless.
I'm guessing you just want to continue arguing until someone agrees with you?
I've converted cars to carb before. As already mentioned, what you lose is not what he likely cares about.
Just taking a stock LS1 and making it carb you'll pick up a bunch of HP simply due to runner length and the center position of the air intake/longer atomization period. You lose tq off idle, lose mpg and some drive ability. So is it worth going carb on a new modern car to just putz around in? No, it's awful.
BUT the caveat of this being a racecar; doesn't make his choice wrong if that's the road he is taking. It is much cheaper and easier if A to B at WOT is your goal on a budget.
Not everyone has the same goals as you.

I'm with this guy, stupid build is stupid.
I missed this, so sorry if I'm now derailing the thread.
As far as it being stupid, I still lean towards there's a reason it's there. Carbs are not simple, they're mechanically complex and much like EFI, a great number of them have a fairly steep learning curve. The only thing you can tune with screws on a carburetor is the idle circuit. Useless if you're tuning WOT operation.
If he was really doing it because it was easier, there'd be a stupid edelbrock afb clone on there, not a billet holley.
You may be partially right about not wanting to learn EFI, but to call it easy is a stretch IMHO.
Actually no lol I just posted a picture and my opinion of it. Everyone else is saying you're going to get drug, pay up, you better put your money where your mouth is. But yet I havnt even said one Time in this thread I can beat him. I could really care less if his car is in fact faster. I just don't see the point in doing it. But yet you all keep bringing up that you think I'm mad and butt hurt.
That is an F3 ProCharged, Z-headed, 408 SBF monster! Running alcohol....Been following his build for awhile, he goes by comecorrect on corvetteforum.com ...
