heres a simple trick to help your edelbrock Carb keep from stumbling around turns on the autocross or even if you use an eddy offroading, not everyone has this problem, I had it one time on an eddy a few years back and I blocked the channel and never had the problem again and now this is one of the tricks I do to every eddy I work on for friends, I have been asked many times about the little things I do to my car to race, so I thought I would leak a simple trick

pop the top on your carb and in the back is a balance channel


its simple you just need piece of 3/16 fuel hose


cut it to the length that sits in the channel


press it in the channel


simple fix right


and now the fuel stays in the bowls better and doesn't slosh around and there still a small opening if one bowl over flows and needs balance

its in...its a great balance of Ridetech, Hotchkis and some of my own suspension tweaks.....I have some heavy testing done and the car is very tuned..I have a few more changes and I hope the car will give the Hot shoes out there fits...... I am no longer at Gotellis, they let me go 2 weeks ago, I was told they cant afford to pay me anymore, now its just Ted and his son....all that work stuff was getting in the way of racing anyways!

Im sure he'll have a great new permanent job pretty soon. Rod will announce it as soon as he feels he is a good fit there. So far very promising

Installed a new carbon fiber anvil cowl panel, these Anvil panels are very nice looking I almost hate to cover up the Carbon


first I sanded the panel with 1200 paper, and then masked the panel off


mixed up some white and clear and shot the panel


unmasked the panel


and did the quick install

[Vince@Meanstreets]

So you left no CF showing at all? You sneaky man you.

the header panel is carbon fiber also and I painted over that also, looks like stock sheet metal
