I opted not to use a double pumper carb. at this time because of his experiance & the weight of the car. When he leaves at 2000rpm has very little spinning runs 9.13-9.18 in the 1/8th mi. I made him go down the track 8 times that day during test/tune. started off at 9.27. He drives it everyday. Now he is going to try a 750vacuum carb and a set of 26x8slicks this weekend. Kris
