Blocking Secondary Power Valve a Good Idea?
« on: July 20, 2008, 01:05:25 AM »
What do you guys think?  The carb in question is a Holley 850 DP.  Is this a good idea?  The carb shop selling it says the secondary power valves are worthless so that's why they block them.  Make sense?  See my sig for more details about my combo.  Thanks!

Plan is to get what I have hooking up, then, when I get bored with it, hit it with about a 200 shot of  nitrous to see what happens.  Grin  It's only  throw money.
