    I would think so if you have a good enough manifold, lol that how I got the necklace, I was reading post about how these cv carbs make tuning a pain, and i remember cb guys buy this racing rack of carbs, so Iwas jsut looking for a set

    That necklace is modeled after the "dominator" racing carb.
    Even a small 600 CFM carb would be too much for a 750
    that can only flow 115 cfm max.

    But Holley makes an even smaller carb for people who must have dual 4 barrels on a small block, and if the 4 runners were kept separate, and a 4 corner idle system were used, and the accelerator pump discharge drilled to squirt down all 4, maybe. . .

    Then again Holley makes a stand-alone fuel injection set-up for $450.
    Now that would be something to mess around with.

    Hmm, fuel injection on my xj750. That sounds fun. I mean when it works and all. I wonder if anyone's converted...

    if you can fit it, it will run. i had thought about it myself.....a holley 2 bbl 500cfm hanging off the intake side of a turbo. i wouldnt try a 4bbl, 650 is too much, the secondaries would never open.


    as for the jewelery, its pretty funny.

    how about a weber 32/36 thats what i had on a buggy with a 22r in it.
    ran great easy to tune. our bikes have almost the same h.p. as a 20r...

    The Fuel Injection looks good, but I don't think I'm quite ready for it. Plus, then my bike is gonna get run over by a fifth wheel or something...

    What advantage would there be with a Weber or Holley? Less maintenance? Easier tuning? Hmm?

    How about a 390 Holley 4 brl?Since the secondaries wouldn't open anyway,you'd only have 195cfm.I'm not 100% certain,but I THINK the 350 Holley 2 brl mentioned does NOT have progressive operation,so you'd be dealing with the entire 350cfm all the time 8O .Also,on the original subject,I wonder if anyone has actually paid $1700 for that necklace
