Spec Carbureted Engines

[michaelmosty]

If you are putting down 255/307 numbers then I would not spend another penny on the motor. The extra 5hp will equate to maybe a tenth of a second and will cost tons of money and time to get.

If you go the carb route on the 305, Bob Denton ran that motor very successfully in previous years in the Great Lakes region.

Yea I was thinking more of a fresh spare engine. I've been passed Bob Denton's contact info. But Im sure that money is better spent on tires/brakes.

Speaking of tires....did the previous rules limit the tires to 255 size RA1s? This car hasnt been raced in a few years, and he has like 16 wheels/tires all 255/40/16. Everyone is now running 275 RR? Probably a question for a separate thread. Regardless, Im sure the 255s will be great for DE.
