Gotta' mess with your TQ?

Some good stuff here I think especially if you're a 'visual' learner like me.

The other 8 videos by this guy (which I haven't watched yet) should line up for you on the menu when you open the first one.

Think they're all 10 mins or less each.

Might help someone, someday, somewhere, sometime... somehow.

Thanks Terry he seems to know what he is talking about and he's not to bad to listen to either. Did you notice the view count fell off with each succeeding video? Hard to hold peoples attention on such a limited interest subject I think. Now all we need is a video showing the 'R and R' (removal and replacement) and set up on an FMC coach.

Last summer 2017 I was traveling over to the coast, I stopped at a little rest area in the town of Hiouchi CA, I was walking around taking a breather, and I seen this older gentlemen sitting in a car with the door open, he was looking over at me and ask me if I worked for Holley? (I was wearing one of my "Holley Equipped" tee shirts). I walked over to his car and started talking Holley stuff with him. His name was Ron Anderson, and he's a Holley carburetor gurew. We talked for 20-30 minutes, reminded me of talking with my Grandpa again. I told him my daughters name is Holley, he laughed and said we named our daughter Cammy, after camshaft! lol Ron and his wife were really nice people. Ron was a NHRA champion years ago, and his brother works for Holley Performance and is kinda the designer/engineer (something like that) for Holleys fuel injection systems.

Just to stretch this tangent out a bit farther; while I was out 4wheeling with a bunch of friends a few weeks back, one of the guys had just updated his gen 1 smallblock with the newest Holley Sniper EFI system https://www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/fuel_injection/sniper_e...
I'm not usually much of a fan of these prepackaged set ups but I rode one of the more challenging trails with him and that system works, his rig never even sputtered and we were running some of the same trails as the King of the Hammers circuit does. The in cab monitor is nicely made and it really provides a lot of good data.
Something to keep in mind anyways..

Ron said his brother is Holley's "Go Too" man for Q and A's/trouble shooting on the injection systems. He helped design them. What was funny while talking with Ron in that rest area, he over and over talked about the pro's and con's to fuel injection vs. carb. He was a true old school carb guy, he said fuel injection is only good for economy, not performance. I love fuel injection myself...

"fuel injection is only good for economy, not performance"
I think that up until 2 years ago the old timers could say that with a straight face, but (in 2016) when the die-hard Pro-Stock "all motor" NHRA class made the swap that jig was up..
