" I have a '63 v-8 formerl
" I have a '63 v-8 formerly rated at 195 hp (with a 2 barrel carb). Recently upgraded to a 4 barrel carb - estimated 250-hp.
Now for the question - I just installed a floscan fuel monitor. Wide open the engine only reads 15 gal per hour - at 10% of Hp for fuel I believe the reading should be closer to either 19.5 or even the 25 (for 250 hp).
Perhaps the full 4 barrels are not active so it is only reading the full 2?
Or is something going on and the engine is not providing the power it should???
Thanks,
