Re: What is a good street setup for a 350?

If it is not a daily driver....the sky is the limit! I have seen no issues on pump fuel, damn close to 10 to1 (aluminum heads, toss the heat, & help with the situation)? My old 383 was @ 9.8 static, & ran a fairly mild cam ....the XE268, is fairly rowdy in a 327 or 355....it pulled 16.5" vac in my 383, & idled with a slight hint of lope. Into the power band good, from 2500-5700, & burned 90-91 pump fuel! Deeper in the gear, & higher on the verter stall....that puts the "icing"" on the mix As far as carb...you might look at the Quick Fuel offerings....if you don't plan over 6000 revs, don't go real big? Little bro put a 650 Quick Fuel DP on the old 383, for track use. He ran 13.1 @102, in his S-10....my old 383, with street tune/edlbrock carb, & shifting @ 5200 revs. Not track tuned yet this yr, but we are looking for a 12.5-12.7 ride....if he don't go there, he will have to let the "crazy brother" loose on that track Longhorn
