The only info I've been able to get on this system so far is that it flows 850cfm and is about half the price of a GRA twin set-up which should make it about $800ish(If you supply a Holley throttle plate, it's cheaper again - I'm guessing the price includes converter, solenoid and plumbing though not sure ). What I'd like to do, if possible, is just replace my GRA mixers with something that has a more traditional 4 barrel appearance but mostly for ease of access to valve gear as the GRA system has to be removed just to get a rocker cover off, it's a serious PITA! Any suggestions for a mixer that I might be able to use(that flows at least 550-600cfm) while preferably keeping as much of the existing plumbing, and converter(s), which are B2's? -- a9x5l

The techno carb system on my Stato will answer all your dreams ,and leave that crappy GRA for dead (One of the top flow benches in Australia , couldnt get more than 500 CFM out of the 2 biggest GRA throttle bodies at 5 ins )GRA quoted CFM is at 28 Ins, who the bloody hell runs at 28 ins ? The techno's top end will blow you away if you maintain the AFR over 3500 ,just swap one of your B'2s for a possibly an AIROD a40 super . or like me try and find a bigger converter that will hang in there !!!!!!! -- rmjjj |
