motor work by nickerson
 

I have had a ball with my new nickerson 1050 carb with it and the 2''shortie I picked up 9mph :p has anyone had them do any motor work, they seem real good and said they could do work to my heads pick more hp, they are merlin 310 sq port. I am in mass so they are 6 hour drive which isn't bad. thanks ART

That is a Big Gain!! Congrats!! It would take 150 to 200hp to gain that kind of speed. Your drive must have been deep. I have had Nickerson do my carb also. But I didn't see that kind of gains. I haven't had motor work done by them, but I would have if I would have been closer. I think they are very capable and very helpful in all aspects of going faster! KN

I highly recommend Nickerson. Dean and his boys have been in the game for a very long time and know how to make power reliably. tomcat and I spent more than a few days at the Nickerson dyno making history with his Supercooler. :drink: :D

Really nice folks, cool shop, dog friendly. :D

oh yah before the nickerson carb my engine builder set it up with a bg 850 jetting was good for dyno way to lean for boat I was hitting a wall at 5100rpm 74mph maybe 75mph had a hand held gps back then. the nick is 88, 92s and yes the drive was deep ,the 26b1 didn't handle good went back to a 25mirage :eek: , yep I hope to burn more fuel off and see what I can hit for top speed maybe 85 :evilb: I need to get the rest of the steering done too, my left arm keeps tightening up :p I was fighting the counter steer once over 70 :D
