I believe he's referring to a carburetor flow. I'd assume that they are direct injected motors would be the only way. No?

oohh ok. Yes, im sure most of those buggys are fuel injected.

There is no reason to stay with carb'd anymore on offroad rigs like these IMO. The 99+ GM fuel injection systems are incredibly reliable, dirt cheap, and work very well.

haha im totally game! hell all my weights up front, long wheel base and awesome power (when the twins get here lol)

as for fuel injection in the off road world (or desert world in my case). carb trucks are still king. simpler, easy to work on, and can make the same power. this follows for trophy trucks on down to class 7

You're probably absolutely right in the desert race world where all you really gotta worry about is making the carb work well in a rough environment, but these guys would be hard pressed to make one work in their world, or the fellas that run rock crawlers. Carbs just don't like extreme angles. I bet most of them in that vid run some type of injection, I personally would probably run a direct port system on one of these if I was gonna build one. :thumb:

I sponsored a little that white Willys #3 in those time.
It had Motec M800 injection, around 800 hp naturally aspirated and over 1000with nitrous.

absolutly, id never run a carb on my rock crawler (shes a wee little samurai lol) nor for what those guys in the vid do. Though i will say, in my dads sand car at the sand dunes his car and most of all the BSE cars run a carb setup and ive yet to see them run into probs with the steep hils they climb, granted they may not be as long as the ones in the vid, they are still pretty damn long and steep. jsut dont try to start them on a steep down/up hill lol. The carbs are all holly double pumpers from 650-1050cfm that BSE puts on the motors.
