i was seeing at the RB website its 166 bux, and looks like u also have to dump more money into another fuel line for the other bowl... is there any way of getting the benefits of these floats? i noticed on the holley website that their center hung floats were compatible with all their carbs... isn't that the main thing that the racing beat race float accomplishes? i'd much rather do it for less than dump 200+ bux into it... any suggestions would be nice? and yes i've searched... posted this in race car tech with no response, so i'm posting it here...

 

I've wondered the same thing. I have a Holley 600 sitting on my 12abp waiting for the body work to be done.

Do you have any speed/race shops in your area? Check with them, they may be able to point you to a competent Holley tuner. That is probably the route I will go after I finish reading the 2 Holley books I have and finally get the engine in the car.

I need to figure out the center hung float and how to boost prep. Should be a interesting adventure.

 

thats a good idea, i'll try that out

 

I got my race bowls about two weeks ago... They'll be going on this week, and I'll be posting my findings...

Keep us posted. Who did you get them from and what did they set you back?

 

I got the set directly from Racing Beat....

i've heard that the center hung floats still give you the dreaded bog. not as bad but wasn't worth the money. i havn't tried them cause of that. as for boost prep, a good carb shop that deals with boats can turn them into marine holleys. that will boost prep them.

 

thanks for the recommendation, i'll check that out, since one day i'll want to be boosted

 

I've got the float bowls on now.... Much better between shifts, and cornering has "improved"... Still getting a stumble under full throttle cornering... Racing beat suggested lowering the float levels a quarter-turn... I'm going to do that today, and try it at the Test and Tune this weekend...
