dual stage nos ????????????

could put a tps inside the car right by the gas pedal. it may take a little custom bracketry but shouldn't be to hard. or finagle it right to the carburator.
 
easier to mount it opposite the throttlelinkage on the carb on the choke side of the carb.

No but just becuase it hans't been done doesn;t mean it won;t work it just means it is tricky to do and hasn't been done. Thats about it.If you are talking about the TPS Carb conversion it has been done on some 9 second cards before porpuse built 4bbl TBI's hit the market some years ago. IIRC there were some guys running low 9's NA like that but i can;t remeber who it was or what the combo was.

If I can remeber i will post it up.

All I know is we did have a chance to have this challenge when we built two cheap cars for pinks, obviously cheap = nitrous. One team chose EFI, one team chose a carb. That t-bird is faster despite being heavier and having worse aero. The biggest reason is probably that the carb/bigshot plate works so well. The nitrous distribution on a factory EFI intake sucks.

we had less compression a much smaller camshaft and definately a big disadvantage in the nitrous department.even at similar jetting we definately got alot less power for the amount of spray we attemped to use. But they were both very fast for being very budget built cars.

That's the point I was trying to make. You could have thrown a GM carb intake and a big shot plate on it and had what we had :)

Hell I will be honest mine has about 475 at the crank and runs 14.90 and this is a really mild small block cause I planned it and everything matches so it works, Just remember planning is next to Godliness LOL

how do you know it makes 475 at the crank? with 14.90ets that thing would have to weigh 5000-6000lbs.
 
well i decided to go with a single stage big shot plate vs my dual stage edelbrock kit! thanks for all the info guys!
