Ok. I have an Edelbrock 1406 600 cfm carb. (I know, I know) I have a few questions.1. Is there any way to tell if I need to get the secondaries to open sooner? 2. Would a 1" spacer help me out any? 3. Should I spend the money to get it dyno tuned, or get a Holley Street Avenger and tune that? I will be racing it occasionally, but it is my daily driver, so I think a double pumper is out of the question. Thanks. ------------------

1. When the secondaries are properly adjusted, there will be no feeling that they are opening, rather the engine will continue to pull strongly through the transition as they open.2. Maybe. I saw a study of these and with some cams they can add a couple more hp. The only way to know is to dyno tune and try it out. 3. Both carbs are competitive and when properly set up should produce similar results for equal cfm.

Woo hoo, another Okie on here!!!!!The reason I asked #3 is because I was thinking about getting an Avenger (for my b-day) and I don't wanna got spend the money to dyno tune this carb, only to have to do it all over again with the new carb....
