hey, it's me again, the "carb-hater" !!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

i've been trying to get this engine to run right for what now, 10 months??? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

i still have a issue with backfires upwards through the carbs (looks cool at night with the GT-engine lid) !!!

now here's my question:
- i'm still running stock (well, SSI) heat-exchangers and a close to stock (Manta) exhaust.
- i have a cam with a lot of overlap.

could the stock(ish) exhaust setup cause too much backpressure and the engine doesn't flow and belches back through the carbs ????

PS: this happens all over the rpm range, but more often under lower rpm load and higher rpm "cruise" (steady gas) and only sporadically at WOT ...
