Can anyone give me a pointer on getting a carburetor to take hard corners well? Last time I took my car out on a corner it bogged a bit and acted like it had no power. I assume that I had a jet uncover but is there anythinge else to look for? I have side float bowls on a mechanical secondary 4150 DP with a single PV setup.

Get rid of the side hung float bowls and you're golden. Laughing


Make sure your float level is set properly, and make sure you have more than 1/4 tank of gas!

don't worry Travis. With a big-block, you won't be able to go around corners anyway. Razz Wiggly wiggly
