So you're running 58s in the primaries and 70s in the secondaries.
YOU let me know when your ready to listen to my jetting suggestions.

Man, if you can't do but 9+ second 0-60's, something is amiss. That's little better than bone stock. Too many ricer 4 bangers can take you at will. How embarrassing.
I'm now into 7's 0-60 solidly and plan to pay around 4 grand to get a sec and a half or two quicker, then that'll be it for me. That's my plan.
The "rolling 10-60" is crap. What you gonna do ? Always get smoked from a stop at a redlight and then say "but 10-60 is my game and I coulda took you if I could start form 10mph" ???
That's like getting in a fight, getting a new *** stomped, and blaming it on the wussy genes your Mom and Dad gave you. You gotta have a plan and take responsibility ( and hopefully credit ) for your results you give yourself.

The fact is CDrad here has fought Carl and I tooth and nail regarding venturi configuration and jetting, and he has made himself look a bit like your avatar on this forum by poo-pooing all of our efforts to convince him to jet according to our recommendations. Still, as slow-assed as he is, he blames something else and not his choice of jetting!!!
I could give a crap less about how fast he gets to go. In his case, I only care about how my carburetor is represented. It is for this reason that I mention the fact that he refuses to adhere to our jetting recommendations.
I can help him to go much faster, but he doesn't wanna listen to my advice. He seems to regard me as an idiot.
So **** 'em.
He wants to brag about a 9.3 second 0-60, let him.
"Strike 3". Pfffffft. That was a homerun, buddy!

From what it sounds to me, CDrad51 is running very slightly faster times than I am and I have stock carb, not modified. Most other things are the same. Time shall tell when the dyno results are gotten. On a completely different note, the ported intake I have does not have a vacuum line to go to the brake booster. I am having a coolant issue right now so I havent driven it to see if I have brakes or not. Will the brakes work without the vacuum line hooked up? Can I hook it to another vac line on the carb (spacer) if I need it?

Oh lol I see. cdrad51 and I have been trying to figure this out for a while now. I will be back in a bit to let everyone know my 0-80 and hopefully I can get a better comparison on it. 80 is right above redline in third so it should be a better comparison I am thinking rather than 0-60.
