Likely true that a carb spacer alone won't show much on a timeslip, but if you can stack a few of those 10 HP finds together it will show up on the timeslip.

10 HP on a spacer, 10 HP on a carb, 9 HP on oil, 7 HP on lash, 18 HP on fuel, 11 HP on vac. pump, 40 HP on an intake.

None of those alone are worth much by themselves (except intake), but sure are worth it when added together. IMO if it is worth power, it is worth doing. Then keep digging for more.

You're pretty slick, I follow you a little. You just keep doing what you're doing N/A sbc.

You're loaded with good info. The only thing I've ever read from you that was a little shaky was your take on DXP, but we'll cover that after we get a few licks in with our 66 Chevy II, and everyone else does as well, DXP legal.

I will say the dude who won DXP Lights Out > Connelly, is an experienced guy nitrous, your not gonna out run that guy with a powerful N/A engine, you hang nitrous on. A nitrous specific engine power is wider.

again, mickey your 1.27 60 foot with your shyt box ain't nothing special no mind the only all steel, triple chrome plated bumper car in the country to do it at 3250 lbs. n/a on small tires and for those that might be impressed by that, they ain't ever seen my former Chevelle run that 60 footed a best of 1.28 at 3880 lbs. off the footbrake and with your required triple chrome plated bumpers too.

This also ain't the forum for lights out and that crowd. you and your numerous screen names were booted from there long ago.

That said, you'll need to find 30HP to see an real reduction in ET and gain in MPH you can see on the time slip.

FYI, there's free HP, faster MPH and reduced ET to be found in running lash loops yet few do it but can't wait to waste their $ and time on the latest go fast claim whether it be a spacer, carb, headers, manifold, yada, yada, yada

Ed, call your engine builder, he may be able to text or email a time slip you can pretend is yours, in order to evidence your out of keeping with reality claims.

We could all avoid these failures to communicate, if everyone adhered to the honor system. in the honor system everything is based on rational thinking and evidence.

Honestly of all the carb spacers I believe Reher Morrison to be worthy of purchase, here's my evidence in these pages Ed contests but has no Evidence.

Why would Ed contest evidence of performance of a product? When he has nothing to evidence his out of keeping with reality claims and his contention is off topic?

I added a 24" four hole spacer to my bone stock 283 chevy once and gained over 500 hp with no other changes......car went from running 16's in the quarter to very low 7's......

So you don't agree with the 12hp spacer, 35hp intake, 15hp vacuum pump, 10hp oil, 10hp carb etc etc approach?

Why not?

I'd be slightly interested to hear this logic.

So the 48” spacer would be worth 1000hp right? Where you get the 24” spacer I would like to give it a try

Why do all of that when one spacer will get the job done

I never thought of it that way, thanks! I'm taking my Reher Morrison sheer anti-reversion spacer plate off right now, and putting fiberglass doors, fenders, bumpers, lexan windows and tubbing it out, with steamroller tires!

It's exponential...the 48" should increase 4x........and that was with a two barrel carb with quadrajets and holley double pumpers...

so let me make sure I get this. you are running a 24" spacer with 4 holes and one carb per hole. correct?

are the bumpers chrome? that will make a difference on 24" spacer performance.

No, one carb, two holes. The other two create a performance dynamic that causes the super ram effect that results in the increased hp. Bumpers are PAINTED chrome, with paint from wally world...That's the key though, it's got less drag than paint from home depot....

I found one of Ed's claims we can evidence and agree on. Common ground.

You should sign up for the next JJ's arm drop. I think Doughboy runs them fancy chrome bumpers too

I had a guy PM me on FB to find out where I got my chrome coated plastic bumpers LoL. He said they looked just like real chrome plated steel bumpers!

I replied they are real chrome plated steel bumpers.

I ain't cutt'n up and hack'n up my 69 SS Nova, ain't gonna happen.

Still has the factory wiring harness and fuse box.
