I use a 600 cfm Holley Street Avenger on my 256 y-block with no problems. This came out of the box with a few minor adjustments and down the road.

Nope. I haven't had time. It's running very well so fine tuning is not a priority at this point. To busy getting stuff ready for Columbus. So far all I've changed are the primary jets -they are 60s now, and the secondary spring.

Are you still tuning on this thing Charlie? Which squirter size did you end up with in the primary?

It is a 570. Use this or a Demon 525. You shouldn't need anything bigger.

What size Holley are you running on your 292 or 312? I plan on replacing my old Ford 4 bbl. Not sure what cfm is but I think around 390 is what they were rated at. My engine is a 292 bored 60 with duals and a 4 speed.

Thanks for the help.

What do you do with sileage?

Paul:

Silage is a different deal, the corn is cut green and chopped, plant, ear and all, and is stored in a silo where it ferments.  Corn for grain, which is used as feed, human food, or ethanol, is harvested after the grain has ripened and the stalks are dry.  There is no remaining food value in the stalks, if animals eat them it only fills their stomachs.  The stalks are typically left in the field.  In my previous post I forgot to mention that as I understand it, sugar cane produces more than one crop per season, whereby corn is a one shot deal per year.  When ethanol was first being produced, it took more than a gallon of fossil fuel to get the corn raised, transported, converted to a gallon of ethanol, and transported to market.  They have finally gotten that ratio reversed.

John: Re the wasted corn plant. I thought the balance of the plant was used for animal silage, or is that a different variety?

Nope. It's quite dangerous in that respect at this time. But a pressure kill switch will be a part of the wire harness install. If you saw the rest of the harness, it really wouldn't make the truck much safer overall. I will probably do an inertia switch as well. I think that's what it's called - to shut off the fuel in the event of a collision.
