Edelbrock 800 AVS-2

I agree a 650 on a 472 stroker just doesn't make sense. The 650 AVS-2 worked very well on my very mild built 440 except at WOT. I thought that on the bottom end it had fantastic throttle response, where it struggled was at WOT. The 800 after some minor changes works great, not much difference on the bottom end but a whole lot better on the top end. With that 650 you just might not have enough fuel to support that 472

650 AVS2 on a 470 Stroker - Why did the engine builder recommend ?

Can you give us the details on the engine build please





Edelbrock told Houle the same thing for his 440 when I told him to pick up the 800 AVS2

Ask him how much he likes his 800 AVS2 now that it replaced the 650 that Edelbrock ran circles with him

Edelbrock ran circles with him tuning the 800 AVS2 also


Cubic inches and HP want more CFM

I agree. Bottom end is great but WOT on the top end is garbage. I just installed the carb a few days ago. Was finally able to drive it yesterday and was disappointed.

This was years ago so I forgot why he said go with a 650. I originally had a quickfuel 650 carb on there. It ran good for awhile then it kept running rich. My engine is a 400/470 with solid lifters, edelbrock rpm intake, trickflow heads, and long tube headers. I'm thinking I need to step up to the 800cfm carb
