Need link for tuning article

Anybody have a link for an article for tuning a Holley carb? I know it's www.bob2000.com or something like that, and it goes on..... Had it awhile ago but lost it. Thanks.

Let's tune a Holley!

1. unbolt the Holley
2. throw the Holley away
3. get an edelbrock
4. install the edelbrock

LOL....I'm just messing around....couldn't resist though!! Sorry I don't know anything about a tuning website! I'm sure you'll get the answer you need tho' from someone on here!!

Soon to upgrade to a 350 converted from TPI to Carb, Edelbrock 750CFM Carb, Edelbrock Performer RPM Intake, Headman Shorty Headers, Some sort of ported heads (undecided), XE268 Cam, Moroso HEI ignition kit with external MSD Blaster II Coil and an MSD 6-AL Box!!

Actually the site everyone suggests for casting numbers also has the best Holley tuning tips (short of buying the Holley tuning book)

Yeah, that website I gave you was www.bob2000.com/carb.htm

Awesome article for Holley tuning, would be better with exhaust gas temps opposed to O2 but can't complain.
