Full Force,
I am more than likely going to have to upgrade my flame arrestors. Need to do a bit of testing early season but really think they are restrictive at this point. What are you using that proved good in the testing on this thread?

Thanks,
Mark

Mine are 8" round 3" high, I gutted them though and only have a single winding in them.

I need to cut 1/2" out so they will be 2.5" now but was assured that won't hurt me .. need to clear higher intakes

I am thinking going with 10" X 5" Gaffrig so I should be good. Was considering 9" X 5" K&N but think the consensus is they are restrictive as well.

my K&N sure wasn't accordiing to the dyno.
I agree, you certainly hear that line quite often.

Do we need to start a "What happened to Artidfriends" thread?

This has been my favorite entertainment of the day!

Did the same thing with a 5x10 on the dyno with some 600 hp engines and didn't see any change. Id be a little sceptacle running on the water that way though. You can see right through it and might just as well not have anything. I certainly thought about it though.

Baselined motor today at 682 coreected with mufflers, swapped to the cs test carb, went to 15.5 at 4800, called it a day till tommorrow, norm tested the fuel curve of the cs carbs strength to pull fuel while he was rebuilding it and said he doubted it could provide as much fuel as air it flowed and was real against even testing it in fear of hurting motor. Ill be dsmned if it didnt do what he said it would do but i DIDNT hurt the motor, going to crank up.main jets to huge ones and see wtf happens tommorrow, its all i got for now. It seemed crisp whacking the throttle. In middle of all of it today found bolts falling out of ati super damper and starter **** the bed!

Raceboat style!! lol

He is busy wondering how many of us are having as much fun as he is. .
Somebody has to do it . Im glad he is sharing

CS aeresol carb is a hand full. After ALOT of jetting, stagger jetting etc got afrs somewhat right at wot. Was able to get almost 669hp out of it at 6400 corrected (620 something observed), our base line was 682 hp (650 ish observed) with modded 4150 with mufflers the day before, air wasn't nearly as good yesterday and if i hadnt spent 6 hours trying to get a clean run with CS carb i would have base lined it with modded 4150 to have true comparison same day same dyno. With modded 4150 i have seen observed hp in the 625 to 632 range on days with cf of 4-5% fwiw so again, , corrected to corrected the CS carb falls about halfway between the modded 4150 and the 2 dominators and tims quick fuel, beating them by about 12 to 14 hp, lagging behind the modded 4150 by about same amount depending what day you want to compare. I wouldnt HOWEVER run out and buy a aeresol carb yet as afrs were pig ass rich at part throttle, it had a weak fuel signal and needed almost 100 main jets WITH power valves to not run lean on top, afrs were uneven side to side then after stagger jetting would even up then invert to too rich/too lean where it was just the opposite. Official done testing anymore carbs on this engine, giving all carbs back to their righful owners and even drug out a few good carbs i own including a nice 950 hp after norm showed me what holley did wrong with them and put them on ebay because IF i ever put a carb on anything of mine again EVER which i probably wont do i would just give norm a stack and say build me one! Now on to efi if my parts ever show up!
