I leave you with four options ...
1) reinstall the stock airbox
2) find a set of VM , smoothbore, RS anything NON Constant Vacuum carburettors and retain your individual air cleaners .
3) do away with the attitude and contribute to this community
4) fuck off
LOL, funny I was about to thank you for such a well written and informative post until you decided to get hostile. If you had actually read what I wrote you'd see I was frustrated with just a couple of dickheads in particular, and even while being frustrated admitted that they knew more than I did and asked that they simply either help, or not help, rather than being dicks. I guess admitting ignorance, and expecting to still be treated with any kind of respect is a little much to ask of some people.
Most of the early posters to this thread were actually quite helpful, and I completely appreciated their suggestions. I didn't start getting frustrated until after I tried some of their suggestions, came back to report the findings and started getting snide responses that were basically calling me an idiot, without outright saying it. I fully admitted to not knowing what I was doing, that's why I asked the questions. To those who were actually gracious enough to help me I'll gladly say thank you very much. To those of you who think you're too good to be nice to someone who admits to not knowing something, I say go fuck yourself, or at least just dont bother wasting your time being a jerk.
I've spent many hours on the internet providing advice on the things I do know a lot about, including some topics that are repeated over and over and over again like I know these carb tuning threads are. It's actually gotten me a ton of business over the years, as well as earned me a few friends as well as a seat in a few races. I understand that you dont like answering the same shit over and over again, but nobody is forcing you to do it. The easiest thing in the world is to not click on another thread asking about carb tuning if it bothers you so much.
As for contributing here.....this is the first thread I've ever posted asking for anything. If you look through my 2 build threads on here you'll see step by step photos and descriptions of how I've done everything. It may not be much, it may not be anything revolutionary, and it may not be up to your standards, but I contribute what I know. Hell just last week a member here hit me up in one of my threads asking for info about proper welding procedures for a part he was making, which then moved to PMs. I'm happy to share the knowledge I have, its too bad some of you dont have the same attitude.
