Here's a link to some good blower carb info.
I bought my speed demons on closeout from Summit and converted the power valve circuits myself. It's a DIY mod or a carb shop can do it for you.

What do you think about the jet extensions discussed later in that page? The ones that holley is selling are plastic push on and look pretty flimsy to me.

Although I can easily lock up all four tires with my current setup, I'll probably upgrade to a set of aftermarket brakes and rotors.
Very interesting. I am glad that someone more knowledgeable than myself chimed in on this. I was under the impression that no mods were necessary unless it was a blow through type. I guess I am going to have to consider this even though Ive never had any problems. My carb is sitting on my dining room table, freshly rebuilt, so I guess now is the time, if I am going to do it. Weird, wonder how Ive gotten away without it?

Im bumping this to the top as I would like to see more opinions from members, especially since the Spiral Tubes are twice the price of the Sweet Thunders. And yes, I'm talking 500HP application.
So stay away from hooker inserts alltogether?
Are the Spirals worth twice the cost as the Sweet Thunders?
My old set must have had Hooker glasspakcs in them, but they were quite harsh, and sounded too tame at idle.
I'm looking for a deeper, throatier sound like this: http://s30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...t=DSCN0464.flv

Ther was a member, I think it was ZL1Power that ran Maxflow vs open headers on the dyno and showed no power loss at all. Believe it was a 600+ Hp big block. Maxflow was my choice.

I have the black hooker headers and side pipes. They have been on my car for 17 years now. I tried to pull the mufflers out and it appears they do not come out. Have you ran across this?
