Re: Any experience with supercharged SBF motors in a GT40?
just thought I'd chime in on the beauty of carbs. I run a single Holley carb on my Boss 302 racecar. Never have any problems at all. I use Jesse Biggs to prep the carb. It costs about 150 more than a stone stock carb, but well worth it. And I use a mechanical fuel pump, just like the NASCAR boys. Simple, cheap, and effective.

When I get around to building the 40, it will have a carbed small block ford. Easy to make 350-400 HP.

Pete- I assume the GT posted is yours. Simply awesome car and I love the flares with the large tires. What size wheel/tires are they ?
