But it's not so big you should be having problems. What is it doing? With your combo. I'd be looking for a 600cfm Holley style 4150 dp. But the street avenger you have, has vac 2nd's. So you can change the spring to have the secondaries open slower. I'm sure you just need a little tweak to it. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>dohcfox</b> <br /><small>Member # 12829</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2014,6,15,12,3,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> W have the same engine setup in one of our race cars.

I'm not gonna mess with this carb.

But here it goes. Most vac secondaries aren't the best carbs for performance. I'd go with a double pumper. I.e. mech seconds. I would stay in the 600cfm range. I wouldn't go bigger than a 650cfm. Get a 4150 style flange. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>4IDFOX</b> <br /><small>Member # 9921</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2014,6,15,20,33,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I would suggest pro systems. Go to his site and fill out the tech sheet and submit it. He will build a carb that will run perfect. He will tell you what size is appropriate for you combination. His 4150 dp's are $640. Best deal on a good carb. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
