Default Re: Anybody Actually Goin' Fast With a Holley 3 BBL?

I had spent a lot of money on my 950 CFM unit, even adding a secondary metering plate to it, and was using it in conjunction with an old Edelbrock C427X dual plane intake on top of my L-88. I thought I actually had it dialed in and running good for a while there. Then one day I pulled it off for some reason I don't even remember and just threw on a box-stock 850 Holley DP and I gotta tell 'ya.....it felt like I had installed a Nitrous system because the car felt so much faster. Needless to say the 850 DP stayed on permanently and the 950 3BBL went into a box in the basement where it remains to this day.
