Here........ a 600 CFM Holley on a 12A Turbo.
When set up right....fuel intake is about the same as stock on normal driving conditions.

yeah sorry it's a relatively stock 84 12a i have a straight pipe and racing beat headers but not much else.
i figured it would be too big it's just someone had a used one for pretty cheap.
now im looking more towards a sterling carb.

First of all..... a 600CFM for a stock 12A is too big. A 390 or 460 is perfect for it. I wanted a bigger CFM on mine because the engine has been ported/polished and turbo-charged. I have 58 jets on low and 70 jets on high.... It starts and runs like a new Fuel injector seven.

Any other mods in your 13b-6? Headers? More splark? Manifold from Racing Beat?
I'll appreciate you answers.

What are the Sterling carbs running in the 1/8th?

We're talking about the street here.
Second of all, I think I'll have to call you on this one.

It ran on the street. I drove it everyday. I can take pics of the inside of the engine I have it apart now. What are you calling me on? Are you saying I didnt run that time with that set up? The engine was also trash, when I took it apart. Are you saying 9.5 is fast in a 1/8th? I dont know if it is supposed to be fast or not? To me that is NOT fast enough! I want high 8's with my new engine street ported.

Not yet. This race season will show us some good info, and we're working with a few customers who plan on dynographing their rides in accordance to our jetting prescriptions.
We're also working on an emissions compliant Sterling Carb that will even stand up to tough CA testing.
We'll see.
