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.

It was a basic tune in North Carolina. Of course being that they back the engine they set it up a little fat with the biggest honking advance springs. I have already dropped the jets for the altitude change and put in some racier distributor springs. Never run better. Haven't you been keeping up on my novel.... I still have a tip in hesitation...not nearly as bad but need to start playing with power valve or possibly a metering block mod. He actually sounded excited about a big block chevy. Old school is still cool.
