Car Craft – October 2019

(Joyce) #1
The Billet X-treme is intended for the
upscale enthusiast looking for pure race
adjustability. This mechanical-secondary
750 unit features multiple opportunities.
The main body, float bowls, and metering
blocks are billet aluminum. Note how
the baseplate offers a dual pattern to
bolt to standard as well as 4500-style
mounting flanges.

Even the simplest of the Fuel Systems
Technology (FST) offerings like this
650-cfm RT vacuum-secondary version
uses what FST calls a pressure-based
casting that offers an exceptionally clean
appearance. This version is a single-inlet
carb with a metering plate instead of the
more performance-oriented metering
block with changeable jets.

This tight view of the Billet X-treme reveals an interesting option that can include
a throttle position sensor. This makes it easy to convert to an electronic-feedback
transmission like a 4L65E or 4L80E automatic. Also note the four-corner idle capability.

Below: We disassembled this
FST Billet X-treme 750 to
reveal the primary metering
block and float bowl, and its
conventional configuration
for the metering block,
power valve, and main jets.
