OK I have a little extra cash from selling my bike.
What do you think. Engine hopups? or jet hopups?
I hve a 455 Olds-Mo-Bubble stock heads, cam, Hi comp. pistons, headers with tunnel ram single 750 VS holley. The jet is a worked (VERY tight:)) Berk JC with a dubble A Imp. I thaught of going with a split bowl with a droop and diverter.
What cha all think? thx Lickit out

Go for a set of Edelbrock heads. Lots of power to be had with a good set of heads.

If you don't have a diverter that's the first thing I would add. I added a hydaulic Place Diverter to my JE pump (no split bowl so passed on the droop) and It was like buying a new boat with handling and control.

CFM??? Not really a concern for your boat. Re-read some of my threads a little to understand, CFM rating verses vacuum signal.
Basically, just be concerned with what you want in regards to peformance and how it performs, I'll take care of the rest. :D

The place diverter will cut your time to plane dramatically. My 23.5 day cruiser jumps on plane with just the stock engine when I trim the diverter down. I might even say it has a holeshot now. I even gained 4 mph top end trimmed halfway between neutral and up.
