Hmmmmmm. How much

 

ill trade you a 289 for it.

 

can someone explain to me how underdrive pulleys help that much? one of my friends briefly tried to explain but got side tracked and never finished....im looking for it online right now but am not coming up with much....what is it exactly and whats different about it?

 

They are just smaller or different sized pullies. What that does is, gives back some of the power they rob from the engine, but like i said, it can affect water pump and alternator performance.

 

You've got too much carb, plain and simple. Move down to a 500 cfm Edelbrock. Problem will most likely be solved right out of the box.

 

Yup, its on the way. The Edelbrock 500 should be here Thursday.. I'll give you guys an update after I install it this weekend. I'm hoping it solves the throttle responce too.

 

i just got me a 500cfm edelbrock. im going to install it this weekend. i have a 289. people have told me this is the right size for my car. but would it be find when i install headders? also whould stright pipe with flowmaster be ok or should i do the x on it??. im also planning on changing the heads and cams later in the futer so would me 500cfm be ok?? also which headders would you guys recommand? headman headders or hookers. thanks

 

headers i would go with 1 5/8 tubes i prefer hooker but have no specific on wich would be better.exhaust i would at least do a h-pipe set up with 2" exhaust witha set of good mufflers flow master ,magna flow or along that lines.for your carb if you feel its not enough after you have done this go to a 600 and play with the jetting till you get the results you want. Remember to have fun wi'll your doing it thats what is all about.driving the car is only half the hobby brother.
