84_13B_NA

I'm new here and own an 84 with a 12A engine (wass considering the 13B but might stick with the 12A). Any ways I read the how to get 150hp thread for the 12A and it mentions the Holley 600 carb and I was wondering if this is the same carb that's used on V8 cars?And will it be a bolt on?How much power can I get from it?(only mods on the car at the moment are Bosch wires and NGK plugs, saving up for a complete exhaust including RB header, resonator, exhaust and cat.)Any help would be appreciated.

welcome

are you planning to port the engine? if not, the 600 would probably be a bit too much carbie for you. you should try the 465 with stock ports.

a 600 can work, but it's a bit of tuning. mainly messing with the jets and fuel cam. but if tuned out right, it can yield a good bit of power. mwatson on here has a double pumper 600cfm on his stock port 12a and his runs real nice.

I plan on porting it down the road.Thanx for the help guys.

this was the reason i asked. in that case, get the 600 and fanagle it to run with stock ports and then you'll have it for when you do your larger ports down the road.
