In the middle of a brand new built and almost ready for the dyno. Since I'm on a very tight budget, I started looking for a cost affective fuel racing fuel and almost bought the additive Race Gas.

THE ONLY THING I'D DO SET MY GAPS ON TOP RING .002 BIGGER
GET THE CARBS DONE AND SWAP THE FILTER ELEMENT TO SCREEN TYPE .
YOU GOING TO NEED A BIGGER PUMP FEED LINE .-10 AND A GOOD 350+ PUMP
THE STOCK TANK IF SUMPED TO REAR WILL WORK IF NOT THAN A CELL IS DUE.
THE RED NOS PUMP NEEDS TO UPDATED WITH A BLACK REBUILD KIT FOR ALKY AS DOES THE HOLLEY REGULATOR DIAPHRAGMS .
DEPENDS ON YOUR PLATE TUNE FOR GASOLINE .WE UPPED THE FUEL PSI AND FLOWED THE JET TILL WE GOT 35% MORE FUEL AND THEN PLAYED WITH
PILLS AND TIME . THERE IS ALOT OF WINDOW TO TUNE AND SOME JUST TRY TO SMASH IT WITH A ROCK .DONT BE THAT GUY .
GET CARBS RIGHT N/A WITH BEST TOTAL TIMING THEN HIT THE HOSE !
