Topic: 22r carb ??

[Rocksnail]

ok. so i di a search and looked over the 51 pages of results but didnt find my answer. i was reading on another board  about this guy that took a 2 to 4 barrel carb adapter and hooked up a 600cfm carb to this stock 22r. he said it run a lil on the rich side. ( needs to be adjusted) how well would this work on a 22r? has anyone here done this? or no somone that has? would a smaller size v8 carb work?  i probly wont do this to my 22r . but the idea is in my head.( got alot  of v8 stuff layin around) any pros / cons to this? any info will help. thank you

Too much probably.  I'm going to probably be running a holley 390 4bbl on mine and I'm thinking it might even be too much, but I'll hopefully do a little head work and open it up so it won't be so bad.

just run a weber. 600 cfm is huge! my friends 800hp drag car only runs 1100 cfm - 468 ci chevy

It can be done with a holley two barrel that I know of.

weber or LP. is what im going to run. i just read a lil on this and was woundering if anyone has done it here and had luck with it. 600cfm is huge, if i would do it i would probly use one around 300cfm. thanks for the post all

Stock 22r carb is 326 cfm.  You should be ok running up to around 350 cfm 2 bbl with little to no mods, but you need some kinda mods to take advantage of it.  I'll have a nice header, bigger cam and hopefully bigger valves in a ported head, so I should be fine with the 390.

My old Camaro had around 250hp/340 ft lb at the wheels and I still only ran a Demon 650 cfm

Downey Off-road sells the 350 cfm Holley kit that I was looking at for my 22r.
