Update on my plans

[Guero]

So I finally think I decided what I want to do. I wanna get a single cab hemi dodge Ram. Park my car and go carb set-up. Im gonna sell all the stuff that I take to fund the Go carb for Jose's mustang set-up LOL!! You guys have any idea how much it would cost me to go carb?? All new parts cuz with my damn luck a used one will be out when I get it lol!!!

What do you guys think??? I always get good, truthful, honest opinions on here...

Why in the world mess with all that? Get something old school to screw with instead ifyou want to play with carbs.

 

[Guero]

Cuz I cant get get this Piecer to run right

How will you pass emissions? Wait, I don't wanna know.

What's going on with your stang? Going carbed is just a handful of headaches on another hand IMHO (six of one, half dozen of another).

 

[Nik_95Cobra]

Yeah more upkeep going carb compared to injected. I don't think you'd be happy with it afterwards. And unless you have a dealer plate or can register it somewhere emissions free it'd be a pain. The cash you spend going carb could be put towards dyno tuning what you already have or something.

I HATE carbs. With fuel injection, you get better throttle response. You get first time starts everytime (if all is in good working order). You don't have to worry about cold weather preventing you from getting somewhere.


It's just not worth the hassle if you ask me.

Guero, I didn't understand a thing you said.

But I did pull out Dodge, Carb and something about Jose

Well

I'd not convert to a carb

I really do love old school stuff
but
If I was to get involved in old school again

It would be an old school Stang, Falcon, Fairlane, etc of the 60's :Word:

I see my 95 Stang as giving these benefits .......
1) go around corners
2) keep me cool in hot Texas summers
3) great tunes ... cd's are SO MUCH better than ... 8 track tapes
4) great drivability (street manners was the word back in the 60's)
5) highway mileage range of 19-21
6) much better brakes
7) power that equates to high 11 low 12 second 1/4 mile et

The newer technology gives you all those benefits ... and more

Now ... with those old school cars .....
only #7 could be obtained and it would lope twice as bad at idle, buck
and surge at low rpm big time, get around 6 to 8 mpg around town.

Still ... for a Weekend Toy ... A car like that is so cool

Doing all that to a 94-95 Stang ... it just wouldn't be the same

Just my thoughts about mixing technologies

Some great words from some great minds here...

I wouldn't do it either. Just the cost alone of converting the fuel system to run a carb, the carb and intake manifold, throttle linkage, ignition system and keeping some of the other electronics functional, would be more expensive IMO than getting your car to run right the way it is. Plus alot the money you have in mods already would go down the drain.
Plus, as people have already mentioned, you'll be back to square one with drivability issues with the carb, and perhapse worse than you started-off with.

 

[urban96]

no luck going to that tuner?

 

[Guero]

nope

 

[The Green GT]

Tuning a carb and tuning a FI vehicle are both hard. One involves screw drivers, and one in involves computers. I think you should just try and get it professionally done. For the money you would spend converting it to carbed you could get that done.

 

[Guero]

The Track intake and The tweecer being sold will almost cover what it will cost me to go carb.

 

[The Green GT]

Probably.

But do you know how to tune carbs?

 

[Guero]

I also dont know how to tune EFI.

 

[Yobi1Kanobi]

tunin g carbs......suxs

tuning efi.........suxs less

only way i would recommend it in our cars is that your going big and radical cam and special purpse for example ________ racing...not really street car not really worth the benifit you are looking for....

 

[Guero]

God damn it!! I suck at trying to say things in writing. If I do this, I will my have the Dogde truck as the DD, and the Mustang just for weekends, but mainly for racing since that would be my only reason for it.

 

[HISSIN50]

Since the mustang is going to be your daily driver, you really don't want to go with a carb. Now with the truck you're going to get for racing on the weekends, you could put a carb on that if you want.


































































































Haha, just had to tick ya off after your last post.
