okay, my problem now is the 540 aluminum hemi, 833 4-speed, with dual holley carbs - vacuum secondaries,  710hp

the car will not run at all, engine runs great in shop, bogs down at 25 mph, spins tires a little in 1st gear

mechanics say "why are carbs vacuum secondaries with manual tranny, will never run with this carb set-up, ditch the duals and get new intake & single Demon Carb ----

have already WAY 2 MUCH Money on this restomod - to make another change

HELP NEEDED BEFORE MORE IS SPENT - is it possible that i have the ONLY dual carb hemi that CANNOT drive past 25 mph?

It'll run,something is just not right.Can you give more details?

[jeryst]

It always boils down to two things: fuel and spark. I'm willing to bet that you're just not getting enough fuel.

Fuel pressure,jetting,advance curve?Need some details of what you are running for settings.

Cudabuyer: I thought you were running an EFI system? Maybe you should of. Joke, that was harsh, all fun. Hope you get it sorted mate. Could be worse, the car may not have started at all!

I also agree with the Fuel or spark comment.

yea the EFI version from Indy Cylinder Heads is $4300.00

Everybody was right - the custom builder of the carbs said they used a 500 gallon per hour fuel pump to feed the MONSTER 710 hp HEMI

my 160 gph recommended by Speedomotive was starving the engine

anybody need a new Edelbrock Fuel Pump & Regulator

i will be buying new one -   this site is AWESOME - in case anybody did not already know

Glad you got it sorted cudabuyer.

Let me/us know how your traction is once you get it dialed in properly.

Traction?  You think he's gonna have traction? He's gonna be ice skating!

Traction, traction, "we don't need no stinkin' traction"
