Re: Thompson power blast plate- Carb innovation?

Any gasoline you dump into my 200F intake that has to go across the 300F heat crossover in the stock manifold and then past the 500F intake valve and into the chamber, to be churned at 1000F during the compression stroke, squished into 0.060" of quench, will "atomize" nicely.

In the sense that if there were raw, liquid gasoline left over it wouldn't burn well and would be inefficient, it could work. But I doubt there's even an opportunity to improve it much, given the environment I just described.
