Which carb to use???
OK guys what i have is a 540 chevy with BB2x heads,Brodix intake,cam 772 int. 765 ex. dur@ 50 285 int. 296 ex., 12.6 comp. It's going in a '65 Nova 2850 lbs turbo 400, 5600 stall, 4.56 gears. I already have a Ken Jones 1050 that worked fine on my 477 or do i need more for this setup?

I think your on the border of going to a 1150 from your 1050. I really think your combo will work well with either. I would keep the carb you have, you might gain a couple of .01s with the 1150 but I think the 1050 will be more consistant.

Frankly I like a bigger carb, but then I ran a 1250 on a 447 SB2, plan to run it on my 461. If your 1050 runs well you won't find a lot of difference, I saw about 20 HP on the dyno between the 1050 and 1250. I wouldn't waste my money on an 1150. You won't see enough difference to be worth it. Unless you plan to put a pair of them on.... :shock:

Yeah David, i plan on being there on the 4th and the 11th unless it's snowing. I shouldn't say that too loud should i. Thanks for the offer i've also got a 1250 i can try if needed.

Use that 1050 Beast....PAR uses a 1050 on his bracket series 565ci and gets 1020hp out of them..
