Carb tuning help

No one Holley / Demon DP carb will make more power than any Edel / Carter carb.

I will just say the Carter / Edel carbs do seem to run better at the 1500 rpms and under range.

3.23 gears are far better than 2.73 gears....

F.I. isn't "better" than carbs..was a long debate on speedtalk about which is "better" not all agree but many pro racers were saying a big carb will make more power than F.I.

F.I. are a pain cause you are limited on the injector sizing, too big low speed and idle is poor but then too small and you are giving up top end power, now remember pro racers turn their motors to 9,000 rpms. (there was a few other reasons why carbs were better, something about the ram effect and how a carb can keep adding more fuel as more air goes through it, while F.I. can not keep up with the A/F ratio changes)

Like I said, it was a long debate..like 20 pages.


I don't race at 1500rpms and lower so that means beans to me, if fact It's a 4spd so.....

Your statement of eddy/carters making more/same power as a holley is unfounded, besides I never knew you could get a 1050 race carter/eddy.......

In the winners circle you'll find holley's or holley design based carburetors.

The only reason any carter is used in competition [thermoquad] is soley based on CFM otherwise if the rules said you could use a holley of the same cfm, they would.

There are street carbs and then there are true performance/race carbs and carter/edlebrock don't make those, they make street/stock carbs that are ultimately limited on tune-ability.
