Any Carb’d TSC1 guys out there?

What was your top end and hole shot? I test drove one for another party today. Seemed like secondary’s and/or timing not advancing right. What kind of numbers did you guys see? I honestly suspect very noticeable difference between the carb and GT40 according to the seat of my pants meter.

There was 2 different Carb motors also, 240hp and the HO at 285hp. HO was carb and GT40 heads. I had a 240 hp and swapped out Heads and intake, fresh Carb rebuild and she ran awesome.

@jpattigr In 1997-2002? I was pretty certain the only carb motor from that era was 260hp which I failed to verify the heads. Year or two before that was the 240 vs 285.

I had a 97 TSC1 bubble back and she had the 240hp motor in it. so at least in 97 that base motor was still offered. After that not sure.

I have a 99 TSC1 with the 285hp carb 351. Hole shot is great to me and settles nicely with Star Gazer on our average-length setup. Haven’t had her on a short setup. Top end is about 42-43 mph with a four-blade prop.
