Reply to "Torker Intake"

In my experience in autocross and open track events all cars equipped with a carb where the fuel bowl is in the front or the rear of the carb will stall under severve braking because the fuel is sloshing away from the idle circuit pick up.

Moroso does make fuel jet extensions to counter this but they are not a foolproof guaranty.

Some of the Holley carbs with racing applications are equipped with air vent extensions to reduce the amount of fuel spilled through the top of the carb. It doesn't eliminate it though.

The only way to prevent the staling that I know of is by going to fuel injection where there are no fuel bowls.

One of the nice things about the Weber 48ida set-ups is that they are much less susceptable to the fuel sloshing problems. It also makes them very responsive in high speed turns.
