What kind of carb are you running under the injector stacks? Is the air cleaner thru the stacks?

We're running a 600cfm Edelbrock under the stacks. The shroud, built by Alan Shadwick in New Zealand, houses a K&N filter and the carb breathes through the front and rear pair of stacks ......... the center 4 stacks are blocked off

Sorry Chimp, just saw this.

We have had the Thames since 1998, bought it from a friend in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Started racing decades ago with a J/S '55 Chevy, graduated to a C/S '60 Impala, on to a B/MSP '61 Corvette, and finally an A/A '32 Bantam roadster ....... gave up racing in 1979, as it had become entirely too expensive to try to field a competitive NHRA sportsman car

I have had my anglia since 99. Still a project,and now for sale. I started drag racing in 81,65 mustang fastback. did more crew work on other cars than racing.did a season of crewing on a TA/D and a TA/FC . Quit racing after the 97 season,had a front engine dragster then. Went to the march meet in 05 and crewed on my old dragster for the new owner,was supposed to drive his other fed but it wasnt finished in time.Started working with my old racing buddy 4 seasons ago on a 84 marquis station wagon ,best so far is a 9.02 @151 . Have learned a fair bit about N2O the last few years.Got to help another friend this summer on a blown injected alcohol nova,love the blown alcohol stuff! You will love this site, the only attitude here is helpful.
