Thread: what carb do I need?

    Really? I ran one for quite a few years with a single 830 Holley and a pretty mild 468 (8:1 compression) and my lake boat (full gear, stereo, coolers, seats, etc.) was bouncing off 80 mph on a consistant basis on GPS. Guess it all depends on how you set it up. Oh, and it was a jet.
    Did you run anything else but that??..

    you don't need no stinking ram... put an edelbrock airgap on there with either a 750dp er or an 850dp er !!!jets don't turn the rpm that the rams were designed to run at. they look cool though!!

    I've talked to a couple of folks and it doesnt sound like I'm gonna have any trouble but one thing they all said was the that there's only one way to find out so now I wait for it to clear up and see how the new mighty demon works out.

    My boat had a single carb tunnel ram on it when i bought it. Its a mild old. It had a 750 edelbrock. Had a midrange flat spot. I switched to a dual top with 600 edelbrocks and it ran MUCH better. Increased my top end rpms from 4600 to 4800 rpms. I recently sold the tunnel ram and bought a Victor single plain intake and put a Demon 850 which increased my top end rpms to 4900. Like everyone else said, if you are going for the bling, get a dual top and another carb. If you want it to run good, get a single carb edelbrock intake.
