years ago i was into carbs..

my 76 cordoba had a 400cid and a pure hard top which was rare and it had a big ole race thermo quad 

and my old 73 cadillac fleetwood which had a 472 punched 30 over and had a 850 quadra jet with two jaguar injectors drilled into a one inch spacer the car made about 650foot pounds of torque@3000rpms and 450HP@5400rpms and would rev to 6500rpms.. when i owned that car a lot of people used to tell me they never heard a caddy motor rev to 6500rpms before mine... and my friends,Mike, John and Jerry and i built it 
my friends and i used to have fun racing that car on hempstead tpk :evilgrin: everyone would allways respond with... "what the hell is under the hood of that beast!!" and we would just say "a caddy motor!!" :evilgrin: i guess people just wanted to see what the caddy had since it had 26/10.5's sportsman pro's under the scerts a fuel pump hanging off the rear bumper :evilgrin: one day on DPA i raced a monte carlo and after he was like what the hell!! lol so he wanted to see what the car can do from the side and just watching so i did a holeshot and the car hooked and streched the front end to it's max and went about 40feet and blew the driveshaft into peices!!oops! i did'nt have boost back then but i did have HP!! the guy could'nt beleave that a caddy could do that... and was so cool about  it that he pushed me home with his mint monte carlo all the way home..

anyway i know my long storys...

if would have put a carb on my cougar with the blower i would'nt be getting the 18MPH on the streets and 25-27MPH on the highway i'm getting now. i would be getting about 5-8MPH on the streets and 12-15 on the highway.. like some of the guys here said theirs not  enough ajustability with a carb for fuel mileage..
