Re: guess on gains?

Maybe .1-.2. Without knowing how bad the carb was before might help. Depending how fast you spin the engine will determine if the exhaust will help or not. Since I don't know the camshaft duration, I'd guess your old and new converter have too much stall just from looking at the low lift of the cam.

Any gains you get from exhaust and carb will probably be taken away from a too high a stall speed.

I'm guessing your camshaft advertised duration is in the high 260 range? That means you need a converter in the 2500-3000 stall range. Not 4500.

274 duration 224-230 at 50. im not puting in the 4500 was just want to see if i would have any gains. i got the 4500 stall with the car. the car is set up to run 10's lol but needs a roll cage and that motor. the owner before made one pass made ran 10.8 they told him load the car and dont come back till he has a cage. i got the 3500 so i could go with a bigger cam later.
