I think the whole point of vac secondaries is to NOT smoke the tires through first. With a vac secondary carb dont you get a slight delay before the secondaries open? Smoking the tires is not good...looks cool but not good in a race. If i go carb i want to go with a reliable carb that i can tune to start in 0 degree weather because here in a month or so im gonna have to.

Think a properly tuned holley street avenger would start in the cold? Thats my biggest concern right now. If i do the swap i need something that will start in cold weather. Buddy of mine bought a carbed truck last winter and it wouldnt start because the choke was missing so he boiught a holley carb...it starts now but runs like **** because he hasnt adjusted it...

Actually cancel my last statement. I found some S/R Torquers for a good price. So that takes care of most of my issues, except for what timing chain to get....and do I still need new lifters?
Also, since I should be getting the Ultimate TBI mods done soon by Camaroracer1992, wouldn't it be easier to install an actual fuel pressure gauge before I reinstall the TBI unit?
