I've checked http://www.tigersunited.com & the tiger email list archives, and
I am still looking for some clarification on the following if anyone can help:
- 500 vs 600 CFM carbs
I am running a slightly hotter than normal (275 BHP at the back wheels) 289
in my MKI w/Offenhauser 360 Dualport manifold & Carter 600 CFM carb. It has
been suggested that I may be a tad over-carburated. Can anyone lend any
insight regarding whether the 600 is perhaps a bit much and what benefits
or drawbacks could be expected from going to a 500? (The archives and
such don't seem to draw a strong distinction other than the 500 is "probably
fine for street use" and the occasional "the 600 is recommended".)
- Edelbrock vs Carter
I know that the Edelbrock carbs are re-engineered Carters, but what are the
implications of the modifications? Is Edelbrock the preferred variant? If
so, why?
Thanks in advance & apologies for my ignorance in such matters.
