Didn't the 305 in a 76'-77' Camaro run the 1.375 2-barrel?

NO.
Well probably lots of year cars run them but only legal on two years of 350s ;-)

How about the 2 barrel 265 horse 396?

1.25...Same as the 327/ 235.
Also same as the 71 and newer 350

I tested the difference/gain between the 1.186" 1.250" on my 305 Nova, and on the 75 350 Nova combo. Was only worth a tenth on both combo's.

Now there's some useful info !

Thanks for posting it !

Now, for some of you serious 2-barrel Roch racers. Who are some of the best 2-barrel roch carb builders who are CURRENTLY building them ?

Don't need the names of those who use to build 'em & are no longer doing it.

What is the aprox cost of a 1.186 & a 1.25 nowadays, including the core ?

Don't have to be for a class winning record holder. Just a good competitive carb to run just under the index of an average combo.

These may seem like REAL dummy questions. But, if I knew the answers, I wouldn't ask the questions.

(1) Is a good 2-barrel Roch any more consistent than a Q-jet ?

(2) Is it easy to get a 2-barrel Roch to launch(start the timers) consistently, so that you can dial in your RT, pretty close, on the tree.

You can compare it to a Q-jet, which is what I've always used. Have no idea how much different running a 2-barrel is.
