Whats the best carb upgrade for the Holley 5200 on my 85 Rampage and best place to get it?
Whats the best carb upgrade for the Holley 5200 on my 85 Rampage and best place to get it?
I used the Weber 32/36 from Redline....left the air bleeds alone but swapped the jets in my junk Holley into the Weber and no change in the qtr mile...but my Holley was a non-feedback carb too. I also use their sharp Chrome air filter, but on mine the clips kept popping off so I drilled the assembly and bolted it to the carb. My car is a RFMVB car too. I had a linkage made to make the cable work. If you intend on making any mods you might consider the Holley 390 cfm 4 barrel too, but an adapter would need to be made. I tried the intake with 2 side draft carbs but was unhappy with hot restart drivability...the carbs were too close to the head and headers so after a hot restart it took a bit of driving to get over the fuel boiling issue. I'm sure a remedy could have been fabricated, but I just didn't want to spend time on it in the middle of racing season.
