Locked up my carb just now. A nearly fresh Braswell (dyno and 2 races) with 1.40 Venturi and 1.75 Throttle Body. Made 650hp on a 360" sprint car motor.

$600 (go for $1275 new)

And we are building a motor he has done many times over so I have utmost confidence. Just trying to learn as much as I can in the process. :thumbsup:

:D

Yea it's a whole different ball game building a motor rather than assembling. I'm an assembler. I've put together a lot of motors but when it came time for my project and started buying parts that cost real $$ and were hard to find I found someone who really knew their stuff. I remember when I started my build I though I knew exactly what the motor should be. What I have now is similar to what I planned but will far exceed what I would have built. Your stoked on working with your builder. :thumbsup: I know the feeling :cheers:
