happy times

today was an interesting day for me... i filled up before i went to the quad state bbq, and filled up whenever i got home, and i got 21.7 mpg... im soooo proud of myself, because everyone talks about 17-15-12 mpg on a 12a motor, but i got 21 with a street port 13b, full racing beat exhaust and racing beat intake manifold with a holley 600 carb that is running way rich.


dont really know why i made this thread except to brag...

i was driving somewhere 80 and 90 mph the whole time i was on the highway. i know for a fact that the secondaries on my carb are open and spraying gas by then (4-4500 rpm) so i dont know how i pulled this one off.
