card swap time..

i have a 1990 model irocz modds in sig . I was rolling around everything running great when a code poped up i found out is was a lose wire fixed it . on that im going to the far more familer carb set-up. i been needin more rpm the tpi doesnt cut it .heres what ill be slapping on just as a temp set-up till the big swap meet rolls around. performer intake with a 600cfm weber carb (always good cfm for a 350).i ran 12.9s before the swap any ideal what it will run with the extra air ?

also any tips on the need stuff for the swap .do tell

"600 CFM Weber carb"? Not sure exactly what that is. But, it's a little small. 650-750 would be more like it, and a double pumper would be the hot ticket along with a Performer RPM instead of a standard Performer intake.

Can't say for sure about times. I don't recognize that cam. Was anything done to the heads, or were they bolted on out of the box?

What gears are you running? Anything done to improve traction?

I assume this means you've given up on the Stealth Ram.

Re: card swap time..

its a perfect size carb for a 350 (at least on my stuff).i ran my 350 in my truck (l48 300hp and 380ft.lbs stock)with a 750 changed to a 600 ran much more aggrsive . the intake and carb combo is a "temp" mainly cause it was free i would never buy such a run of the mill set-up. the heads are around $899 new the come with what u would expect 1.6 rockers 2.02 3 angle vaules blah blah blah.you can get the heads bare for cheap but i just wanted them ready to use.no other modds have been added the reason i think it would be faster is cause even a none rpm performer gets more air then a tpi and my cam makes power 3200-5800 so should be a bit faster.its not as much im giving up on the stealth ram as much im giving up on all fuel injetction.

Probably an AFB clone. Weber makes the Performer for Edelbrock, and probably Carter now as well.

Re: card swap time..

I think the carbs a little on the small side myself, but since you know its the perfect carb for any 350 out there I guess thats a moot point.. you will also need a non-cc dist.
