About this episode
The episode features a discussion about the new Edelbrock VRS carburetor and the evolution of intake manifolds in the automotive industry.
Willie got his hands on the new Edelbrock VRS carburetor for his 500-ci big-block ’67 Barracuda project—but first, he had to get it past TSA. In this episode, Kevin and Willie sit down with Edelbrock’s Brent McCarthy to discuss why this 4-circuit masterpiece is a total game-changer for the industry. The conversation goes way beyond the bowl, diving into the high-tech evolution of intake manifolds—from the restrictive “gas crisis” designs of the ’70s to the legendary Performer RPM and Air Gap series.
