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.

No, I know that. You can make an engine run more efficiently with carb modifications. That frees up horsepower that you would have been making the whole time had you made the mods before. That being said, you cant "add" horsepower to anything. Kind of like the kids that get imports are see a magazine ad that says "put this exhaust on your car and add 15hp and then get this intake that says it makes 25 more hp." So the kids buy both of those parts are start figuring how much power they make. So I have a honda that makes 80hp and I bought exhaust and intake that together makes another 40 hp so I now have 100. It just doesnt work that way. Thats really what I was getting at. Just a joke thats all.
