Two-barrel performance? It can be done!

Had a guy ask me a question pertaining to yesterdays post. He said he shows his cars in concours, and some of them have two-barrel engines, and the rules don't permit changing the intake and carb. Yet he'd like more oomph. The advice I gave on putting in slightly stiffer rear end gears and maybe a mild converter is still good. As for more power-check this out-there are a lot of circle track racing classes that require two barrel carbs. Don't scoff-these cars go awful fast. Get a magazine devoted to circle track racing and check out the ads in the back. There are a lot of companies that sell extensively ported two-barrel manifolds for most popular engines, as well as re-jetted, and reworked carbs, for these racers. There are also cams designed for two barrel racers, and ported exhaust manifolds. I know a guy that pulled one of these engines out of a "hobby stock" Chevelle, put it in a street Nova, and ran low 13's!!. How'd you like to have your ass kicked by a guy running iron intake and exhaust manifolds and a two-barrel carb?  Where there's a will, there's a way. Mastermind
