Come tune up the Comino. I have no idea where to start on damn carbs.

They are really simple yet complex at the same time.
Do you even know what carb you are running?

What are thinking about running for a snail Johnny?
I'd say Holset, but I doubt you want to run 2.0+ pressure ratios.

such as a 260hp solstice gxp (260 factory rated so it's at the crank) makes 220whp (a 40hp loss or a 15% loss) http://youtube.com/watch?v=PKy4hOP2OOc
or a stock 2.2L automatic cobalt (rated at 145 at the crank) makes 130 at the wheels (15hp loss or a 10% loss) http://youtube.com/watch?v=D-DLS4Kw1ps
if you knew anything you would understand that you don't loose 100hp throught the tranny to the whees (if so "the ---- brown bomber" would only have about 80whp but it has about 130-150whp (and about 180-200 at the cank) but no, you think that because it's american that the 150 at the wheels means 350 at the engine. nope!
ur an arrogant idiot that needs to do some learning

I have grown to believe Cornfuzed is someone that needs to be banned, before some noob takes his "advice" as gospel and blows up a motor. Seriously, at least JoshMO doesn't sit there and try to act like he is the be all end all of car knowledge.

Do you know if its a 2 bolt or 4 bolt main block?
