Check out this thread. Identical boats from Fountain, identical fuel setups.

All of the brass 90's removed when Whipples first installed.

What's with the firing order? I've heard of doing it on Fords. Same reason here?

I can't imagine installing a SC and leaving that choked up fuel system!!! Honestly, I'm almost surprised it wasn't an issue with just the 525's.

X2 that's crazy, I agree that it " may" have been ok for 525s, I don't understand why it hasn't been addressed until now? It's amazing all the details that easily get overlooked when adding power
