dajogejr Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Stock carbs on a 4 mil dune port with Shearer pipes? You're killing your top end right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000twin Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 You really think it will hurt it that bad to run the stockers?What size do you suggest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheeseat$$ Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 You really think it will hurt it that bad to run the stockers?What size do you suggest? 35's 33 minimum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 On gas...35s for sure. Alky...34PJs or 39PWKs. Don't think you're looking for alky yet... 34PJ carbs are CHEAP...and would do a world of good to your mil. An aggressive dune port with Shearer pipes want to breathe...you're chocking it with stock carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowbuckracing Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I raced an LT 500 done up and I had a stock stroke dune port with 35mm pwks and out of frames with built in silencers...Up oldsmobile and could beat him everytime....I wasnt kickin his azz but would beat him...Good luck on your build..

I concur to the 765489430956830698526655862568526868th power. yeah, get you some 35 pwks. 4mill dune port, shearer inframes, 35 pwks on race gas makes a really fun engine.

BansheeZillaman Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I know a guy that raced a DrQ zilla. The Zilla was stock except for Dr Q pipe, Qreeds, and Qsquish mod. The banshee was a 4mil w/ shearer pipes 34 mm carbs and porting. The Zilla smoked it. I know where a video is but it's a link to photobucket. Are you able to post links? About the Trinity zillas... They arent impressive. Trinity still uses the same 80's technology on them. A stock Q Piped Zilla could hang or even beat a 3k Trinity zilla any day.
