I remember always trying to play with the 4 adjustment screws trying to make it idle at less that 950rpms without surge.. cold starts were a bitch, the motor needed like 5 minutes warm up before it would stay running under load
man I don`t miss that.

Fuel injection FTW

Well theres your problem! Jk

Now if only you had those 600SC's in the Baja, some chillers and some smaller pulleys, and you'd have a 95mph ride!

Sometimes it will drive you nuts though. Especially when you're trying to ease it in and dock, pop it in gear, oops, sorry......

[MILD THUNDER]

Normally it can be tuned out. If the idle mixture screws are backed out too far, or the speed screw adjusted to far in, it will surge up and down like a sob. Just dynoed a friends engines last week. 588CI with 8.3L whipple, intercooler, and twin 1050 Carbs. Granted the whipple design helps, but none the less, the surge was able to be tuned out, and engines idled at steady at 1150RPM. Keep in mind these engines have very big cams, that kept pulling and making power. They did a 7000RPM pull, peak hp still climibing. The hyd valvetrain wouldnt have liked anymore, so that was as fast as they'd take it.

Sure sounds nice

The Mike and Joe HP battle begins !!!!

I wanted the blower surge and dry pipes. Mine fires up cold and stays running. No horsing around with the throttles. With the speedmasters and cleavers the blower surge helps with docking. If everything was tuned right you don't have to mess with the carbs or worry about the engines dying out when shifting

[ICDEDPPL]

oh yeah at 1200rpm they sure idle sweet but the ol bravos slam hard anything over 900.
Anyway you carb cheerleaders, I prefer to do my tuning with a laptop instead of a screwdriver in a 1955 time machine

[Cig Flat Deck]

That's where you bravo baby boomers have it all wrong.lmao Run a transmission and no worrys. And who doesn't love a 1955 chevy. I know I do

[ICDEDPPL]

One day when i grow up I will have a trans.. one day..
someday

You...like the rest of us...will NEVER grow up. Face it.
