>>>For drag racing.  The fuel sloshes to the rear under hard acceleration in a really fast car.  Tilting the carb helps overcome that.  We have completely different problems.  We flood under braking.

 >If our carbs in the stock Pantera setups are already tilted forward, why level them, or am I misinterpreting something here? Is the stock angle in the Pantera too much? By milling the original intake to level the carb, are we defeating the purpose of the hard acceleration and front end lift? 

>>>When was the last time you pulled your Pantera's front wheels off the ground under acceleration!? :>)
