Whats the best route to go for dual carbs? Empty Whats the best route to go for dual carbs?

Post  bronco911 October 29th 2013, 6:42 pm

Running thru the Holley sizing calculator I get the 1250 is the largest made, so I should consider dual carbs screen. Is this where some of my power may be lost? scratch 
What is the best way to tackle this issue? 2 850's?
593 CI w/max 7500 rpm

Thanks

Thanks Lem. Just went and looked at them.
How do you think they would hold up in the off-road/sand in everything environment? Have you heard any bad about them?

Those are great carbs. Just run a good filter.

Will this bolt right on in place of my 1250 Holley? Reading the specs can't flat out find the answer, a little vague

yes, unless you have a 4 hole spacer under the 1250 to match.

I've been using a QFX 1450 on my mud drag 604" C head combo since it was built, and can say it is the real deal, and you wouldn't be dissappointed if you went that route.

Ignore all those questions I just asked Scmitty ( except the important one)

Thanks!

I was gonna say ...You should ask Schmitty here ... he has had one on his mud truck for the past 2 1/2 years but, he has already answered. Smile

For the displacement and RPM that 1400 cfm is even small Two 1250's would work well.

Trying to go 300' in 4.4ish seconds in a 4,200 lb Bronco. In sand. With up to 8 passengers. No bottle, NA gas.

Going from previous bests of 4.80's to 4.40's, with no wieght changes? Gonna take more than a tunnel ram I'd bet. Time for the fast gas, or push air in it. I went from 5.80's to 5.1's with 160hp/100# NA power gain. But that was slow, easy to improve. The faster you go, the more work it takes to gain. I wonder what sort of power you'd be needing, 1100-1300? Similar vehicles (weight wise) seem to need that sort of power for what your wanting. Maybe those A-heads are something for you to think about.
