anywhere from 250 to 450 right meow.
the lower figure will be coming significantly higher in the next couple of months.
probably around 350 give or take

Wow thats quite a bit. I figured it would be quite after seeing those roller rockers, dart-wilson manifold and that really big carb in those pictures. What is the weight of one of those?

between 2500 and 3000
and believe it or not that huge carb is only a 750. but the design of it allows for much quicker revving

Just curious, how does the carb design allow for quicker revving? Have shoes had a lot of dealings with carbs before?

i dont know the workings of this particular carb.
i have jetted in a standard holly 750 vacuum secondary carb and messed with the power valve.
this carb has no choke, i guess they figure what the carb will be used for wont require the extra linkages and stuff.
i cant say for sure what model it is but its a holly for sure.
and the guy that had the engine built said it was a 750.
that particular motor should be good for atleast 450hp

Well if shoes must know, I think this site is dumb. I was just looking around one day, looked through this site and saw the pictures of this dune buggy. Other than that, the communication on this site seems to be at the level of 2nd graders. Do shoes really expect outsiders to join this site talking like idiots? I realize shoes're all friends but shoes sound like hillbillys, and judging by most of the pictures shoes are. And sorry if shoes don't like what I have to say, but shoes asked. Have a nice day.

FIELD - I before E except after C. So how many of shoes do have a high school diploma. I'm betting that at least one of shoes don't. And by the way I am a blue collar worker, and invest in real estate.
