Garth at Leading Edge Performance where we dyno'd FUel seemed really good. Can't say if he is a Holley carb master or not, give him a call...
702 227 6579

Lots of sweet cars rolling through why hung out there... mostly new nasty HP Vettes.

Vegas69 sorry we missed going on a cruise, you guessed it before hand... had no time.

No big deal....I got tied up with a broken heater in my house the morning of the optima challenge and couldn't make it. We'll get them out next time. I was thinking of that shop. I'll call Garth and see how he feels about playing with an old school big block. I can handle the jetting but it's much easier with a 02 sniffer.

Not accurate.

His FAL owns a muffler shop in Henderson that has a dyno, but it isn't LEP.

garth has told me before he knows holleys good. but from what i have seen he mostly does efi...
but all you need is a dyno then for a holley you can go to the zoo and pick up a monkey to tune it for you .lol
also try N.R.P (sponsor) they have a history with drag cars= pig blocks with holleys.

I always thought working on fuel injection was easier than carbs Of course when I went to Auto School we spent 2 days on carbs and forever on fuel injection. I can tune it but it's best to jet on the dyno with sniffers. It's really hard to tune a main jet without it. I'll give Garth a holler when I know I have a little time to play. Hoping next week....if I'm lucky maybe Garth will have a banana waiting for me.
