thinking of going with a carb setup with my hatch, was wondering what everyone would recommend. Was wondering what size carb, and kind to use, and what intake maniifold to use. Any help will be appreciated. Heres my mods

TFS twisted wedge ported heads
11.2:1 Comp Ratio
Long tube headers H-pipe
Dumps
Alumnum Drive shaft

 

What's the cubic inch.. If it's a 306 or close to it, you could run a Demon 650 or a Holley 650.
For the intake, grab yourself a Victor Jr..

 

Victor Jr, or the old twisted torker works great also. If your spinning pass maybe 7200 I would go 700-750 also. my old combo before aftermarket heads (mid to late 80's)went 11:30's on motor with torker and 750. What cam are you using? I had 620 lift flat tappet Crane.

 

i got a victor jr intake manifold with a holly 750 doable pumper and fully built 306 my motor goes over 7200 rpms with no problem ....its a good combo ..i also have a 619 lift flat tappet cam

 

i would leave it fuel injected.

 

I do agree with Steve B about leaving it inj. Maybe a weekend car or drag car yes, but daily driver I would leave inj. Prices and used parts are now outthere all over. Cost is not that great. When I bought my 88GT new in 87 parts were non existence and the few that were were out of this world in price compared to a SBC. I believe it gets expensive on inj when you have to go to a standalone management unit. goodluck

 

the car is a weekend cruiser, it has a spool in the rear so it see's a little street duty, its a 308. The heads flow 315 cfm on the int. and 279 on the exh. If you guys recommend fuel inj, what size inj should i use with a TFS R series long runner manifold?
Cam has .580 lift int/exh, 282 deg duration int./ 288 deg duration exh. 1.6 rockers

 

Dont be skeered of the carb. they are easy to work with if you are willing to buy a book and learn, then get out there and tune it. It will cost you much less and make more power.

im running 11.80 on motor with a holley 600.
vic jr on 302.

times are a changin....someone's gotta tune carbs, shoot guns, and keep a woman cookin in the kitchen....

 

I think i'm gonna gather all the parts for a carb setup, What size carb would everyone recommend, and what itake manifold. Shift point is 7800 as of right now with EFI

 

7800 RPMS I RECOMEND A VICTOR JK INTAKE MANIFOLD WITH A HOLLY 750 WORKS GREAT WITH ME I TWIST ABOUT THE SAME RPMS
