    Admittedly, it looks cool. Admittedly, its a cover up of a 4 barrel carb.
    Keep it real. Spend your hard earned cash on making your car go and stop.

    Come on Dale! You have to admit that this is the best fake carb cover you've ever seen! Right!

    I'm just not a fake anything kinda guy. No, not even those female enhancements.

    I ran a Hillborn injection system on my small block, straight axle 51 Chevy back in the 70s. But, that was just for racing. It was cool but a monster to dial in. Now, if'n you want to run a set of three 2 barrels, we'll be best buddies.

    WHY ? Will it go faster?
    Will the fuel mileage be better?
    Will I be able to pick up women with female enhancements easier? :evilsmile:

    Skip that last one. My wife just caught me!:cry:

    I'm on Dale's side with this one. That item is beautifully made and just the shiny bling for the deep pockets kind of guy wanting to impress.
    For me... I just want my life simple and have no plans to impress anyone!

    Those two extra barrels might make the difference.
    Still,.. The injector thing is pretty cool so don't get your big girl panties in a bunch and admit it looks good. Geesh! Pride really does go-ith before the fall. HA!

    "Still,.. The injector thing is pretty cool so don't get your big girl panties in a bunch and admit it looks good.

    Sorry for the delayed response. I was in the shop, dialing in the carb'd 302 inch motor on the dyno. I had a bad thermocouple on the EGT for the #7 cylinder. The little 302 pulled well up to 417 hp then my big girl panties got sucked up into the carb. As soon as my big girl panties left me, I thought of you.

    You're right. "The injector thing" is cooler than anything that I could have ever imagined. "admit it looks good" OMG, yes, it does!!!. It looks great!!.

    Remember that your words, via keyboard or spoken, are the sum of your Father's best intentions.

    Now, please, stop baiting. This is a good forum. Let's all be grownups.



    All the best,

    If I am reading it right, it is a cover to make your 4 bbl look like fuel injection, but doe not have any real function. If I am wrong, I'm sorry. If I am right, it is for looks only. Of course, if you like the look of the tubes poking through your hood, more power to you. My preference is for the Q-ship, that gives no hint at all that something special is lurking under my hood.

    It does look cool, that's for sure but I just don't see the point myself. dressing up a engine with chrome etc is one thing but I'm shure the cost of this is....... best spend the dress up $ on chrome, or maybe some plastic spinner hub caps:rofl:
