Hello, I have a 400 engine. RPM Intake (Summit actually had it in stock!) 3.54 gears, and headers.
Other than that, it's stock.
I'll probably be getting a small cam in the future, it runs pretty darn good. However it's pretty poky.
I have read Holly 3310, and a Demon 750.
I would like electric choke as well... unless that's not a good route?
What others would be good? (Don't mean to start a carb war).
Definitely want this streetable... but sure would like to show it isn't a total pooch from time to time either.
Thanks!
There is nothing wrong with an electric choke. Some idiots think NOT getting an electric choke gains them HP. For an everyday driver that see’s 4 seasons, it’s worth it unless you like to moderate your carb with a cable in the cold and open it up when the engine gets warm. Why bother?!?!
What ever style carb or maker your OK to work on is what you should use. I can’t find a single item that makes any one carb crappy. Each have a pro and con to them.
If I said that Holley’s are my least favorite, that may sway you.
Well it’s true, I’m not a big fan of a Holley on a daily driver and find the Edelbrock super dependable and easy to tune.
BUT DONT WORRY!!!!! Somebody will be here very shortly to complain about there Edelbrock carb and how flipping bad it was that the ripped it off there engine, slammed it on the ground, stomped on it, drop there draws and crapped on it, boxed it back up and set it to Edelbrock with a nasty note on how bad they suck.
Same for every other carb ever made as well!
Bottom line, start learning how to tune your carb yourself.
Also, in testing various AFB, AVS, Edelbrock’s and various Holley’s, if the engine is mild, like yours or maybe even with a small cam, there’s ZERO power difference that you’ll feel or see on the street and you’ll be hard pressed at the track to find a difference.
I find the claims like above if you want to win the race get a Holley totally rubbish at the maximum and even worse than that when a driver street car is on hand.
But hey! If you want the Holley, go get ya one!
IDGAF, as long as you enjoy the car and I burns well, how cares!
