I have a buddy with a streetported gsl-se and he is thinking about getting a weber for it do you think you would make more power with the stock fi or with a weber for the six port 13b in it.

motor is ported
has direct fire
and a few other little things basically Im just curious which will make better power

And what carb/intake should he buy and from were
thanks guys

 

holley 600 double pumper

buuuuuuuuut a weber 48 would be nice to haha

 

A well tuned carb will make more power than the stock FI.

My Holley 600 double pumper is a ******* nightmare. weber is the way to go.

 

hmmm is it an off the shelf 4150 600? what's the problem?

ahhh ****, hijacked!!!!

yes either way weber will work great, but can be just as big a nightmare to tune

 

It's fresh from racing beat. Just, more trouble than it's worth.

 

I don't think RB sells 600's?

 

It's their "new fix" for all the non working vacume secondairys SE kits the've sold over the past couple years.

 

you can never go wrong with an IDA.
mine has never disappointed me. i have a 51 on my stock SE block and i love it

 

Ok, I have a question. I just got a sweet deal on a Racing Beat intake for a 4 barrel carb. The only mods to my 83 gsl 12a is a custom Apc exhuast with a Pacesetter Header, and a worked over Nikki. I have heard alot of crap about the Holley carbs and wonder If a Edelbrock would be better. I know jason child is the tread starter, but I just get facinated about all the (DRAMA) over what would be best to use. Any more imput on this would be highly appreciated.

 

yea IDA's are the jam from what i have seen.

if it's an rb setup 600 then pfffttttt. i know they dont use a powervalve and the basic jetting is 61/67. which to me seems way off for having a crappy metering block instead of a plate. if it's not working out well, make a thread about your specific problem with it and maybe we can help.

 

Stock/mild port engine go with a Mikuni, extend or Bridge port go Weber IDA, absolute best, but if you have the readies go aftermarket EFI with a stand alone that is the best option.

 

$600 buys my whole setup with less than 1k miles on it.

Or trade for IDA setup.

Like how I'm trying to sell the same **** I've been talking **** on?

Don't buy a holley.
