Sometimes You Feel Like A Nut, Sometimes You Don't...
The parts listed above are the normal set up. I have access to a Holley 1050 Dominator carb and a loose 3800 rpm stall converter that I have used quite a bit over the last couple of years for racing at mud bogs or for just plain nasty four wheeling. Using these, however, does take away a lot of the streetability, but it sure is fun!
