    Hey Pat, haven't you ever built a fairgrounds cruiser or a full blown alcohol injected motor. They are bada$$ sounding, but it's gotta become a pain in the a$$ after a while. The guy that did my machine work, said he drove his car on the freeway about 10 miles took a full load of fuel (alcohol). It's wierd how he can just start to drive the car normal and the injector will act normal, but blip it and here comes the lope. He grabs a crowd everytime.

    Hey guys, Was just wanting to know what caused it. Can not learn if I don't ask. So you are saying its related to carb sett up and not so much cam? I dont know about loss of power with this set up, Some blown cars down here are making big power but still lurching around our shows. If I cant get that big cam idle with a blower, I want the surging.

    You can tune in some surge by playing with the idle mix....I just never liked watching the tach bounce around from 1000 to 400 and back, makes the car a little harder to drive on the street also...
