Is any one using the RB Holley carb setup. I am looking into doing my own Holley setup the only thing is RB says thiers is only good for like 20-40hp thats not much for $600 some dollars. My dad said his Dellorto gave him more power than that for the same amount of money. So what shall I do, any one have somthing to say on this subject.

You think gaining 40 HP by just bolting on a carb is bad?

i can get you the manifold, you supply the carb. or if you wnat more than your *just* 40, tune a FI set up properly.



i personaly used to love the holley set up when i had it on my rx2.

i personally prefer Holley systems to my Dell'Orto. i mean, now that i've gotten the hang of how to tune the Dell, i'm more at peace (and pleased) with it, but i still prefer the way Holleys feel on a rotary ...

go with the holey. you don't have to get the racing beat one though. you can get there manifold and buy your own holley. you need to do a few things to it though. but its alot cheaper. specially if you get one from e-bay and rebuild it. i got a 650 double pumper on mine. changed a few things around, but it rocks now. pulls like a beeoch. if you got a stock engine i wouldn't go no more than a 600 though. good luck on your decision.

Hey Kettlman;

I have the RB Holley setup also.

Quick ?

I noticed in your picture that your Fuel Return Line is left open!

Have you had any problems with it open like that.

According to my RB instructions they say to Cap it.

Just curios???
