You can pick up 25 HP with carb modifcations. Thats very plausible. How ever,.. 25hp over what? A stock Avenger carb? Thats not saying a whole lot. 25hp over a DP or HP carb,. then he might have an argument.
The carb he used to modifiy is the bargan basement of Holley carbs.
Its like taking the stock intake, TB and fuel rails from a 5.0,.. modifying it with 36lb injectors,. porting it out and telling the world you have the greatest thing since the Wright Brother airplane. Better than a Vic 5.0 intake,.. better than a Trick Flow or Holley Systemax intake.
You understand now? Its just not possible. Your still stuck with certain limitations when you use the stock parts.
