    I recall you recommending one, I'm sure I still have that somewhere. There is a couple carb shops locally, I might visit them.

    I highly recommend at least 700 if not 750 cfm's. I went with a 650 & I have had a hard time getting enough fuel to feed my Pro Charger. If I had it to do over I would have went with a 750. I do love my C & S blow thru.(y)

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    Another question to ask is if he's just going to break in the motor?

    Or tune is for maximum N/A power?

    For the amount he's charging it sounds like the price of a dyno run and a tune.

    Here in the IE its around $250 for 3 dyno pulls.
    and $400+ for dyno pulls and a Tune.

    This is an engine dyno not a chassie dyno. The is alot of set up time involved compared to a chassie dyno. It's really nice because the motor will be ready to drive when it's put in. I say it will hit 400 hp.

    Looking to get one of those innovaitive XD-16 air/fuel meters so that I can tune the engine a little better myself. But the basic tune I'd like to have done on the dyno.

    A great investment, but I would save a houndred bucks and just grab the LC-1. A great gauge and is all you need.
