Re: thunder series 800 cfm

I installed one on a customer's big block a couple years back, spent awhile getting the calibration correct, but it's still on the car and working great!!!! Way too much carb for a small block unless you're running some huge heads and a big, solid roller cam!!!!

Re: thunder series 800 cfm

well according to holleys calculator i should be running a 950 hp carb with the 355 and a roots blower pushing 10 psi

355cid plus 144 cid(blower)= 499cid

499cid x 6300 rpm / 3456 =909. and some change............. so i was womdering on the perfoemance of the avs 800 edelbrock......
