Thinking About a Dual Carb Setup for My SBC - Need Tips!

You bet! In colder weather, a little heat riser under the carbs can work wonders. Prevents the fuel from getting too dense before it enters the engine.

Dual carb setups can be tricky, but proper tuning is critical! You’ll want to focus on jetting first. Start with a base size and adjust according to your engine’s needs for maximum performance.

I totally agree! Don’t forget about your idle adjustments; they can make a huge difference in smoothness and response.

Synchronizing those carbs is vital! I recommend using a tool like a Syncrometer for precision; it’ll help ensure both carbs are working in harmony.

Great tip! Also, keep an eye on your performance metrics. Use a wideband O2 sensor for real-time monitoring to fine-tune your air-fuel mixture.

I recommend starting rich for jetting, then lean it out as needed based on your performance data. That should help in achieving the best results!

Exactly! And don’t be afraid to experiment a bit. Every engine is unique, so what works for one may not work for another.

Always remember that tuning is an iterative process. Keep revisiting your setup until it feels just right!

True, but don’t get too lost in the numbers! Sometimes, a seat-of-the-pants feel is just as important as the metrics.

Let’s not forget the importance of a good tune. If your engine feels like it’s not responding, time for some serious checks. Can be any number of tuning issues. Remember—patience is key!
