    I am trying to change the jets on my Mighty Demon, it seems one jet is just stuck. then to compound the issue the slot is starting to strip which is now making it nearly impossible to get any torque to get it out. I don't want to damage my carb, so does anyone have any tips on getting out...

    H PIPE VS X PIPE VS STRAIGHT PIPE HELP!!

    This with straight pipes or an h-pipe your definately going to get more of the that low sound, and that great idle sound, the x-pipe will smooth out your idle a bit. check out these videos of my car and you can very much tell a difference in idle and the sound on acceleration, although a...

    Fuel Pump Eccentric Scored Timing Gear Cover?

    the problem is that there are different fuel pump eccentrics....at least 3 that I have identified. What year block are you using and what type of eccentric (1 piece or 2)? Also gasket material will come into play a bit too.

    Dyno Run

    I am going to contact Barry Grant and see what kind of recommendation they would make as far as jets just to get me started. From their website it looks like the primary jets are #71 and the secondaries are #79. The sensor was stuck pretty far in there, we saw a problem like that earlier in...

    Dyno Run

    Dyno Run

    mostly- the mighty demon is new vs. my old Edelbrock, exhaust is new, 2.5", x-pipe, magnaflows vs old 2.25" with flowmasters That trip to the drag strip was plagued with problems, mainly having traction issues off the line, and my clutch peddle kept sticking to the floor so I would physically...

    Dyno Run

    I almost made that much with my old 289! :rlaugh: Yeah, I know 350rwhp might be a bit optimistic, but I would think it should at least break into the 300's, I have seen several very comparable builds with engine dyno numbers into the 400's. :shrug: oh well we'll see Saturday
