Which is your favorite carb (or carbs) of choice? Vote in the poll and give some details on your reasoning in the thread!
Got 2 Demons, one on my 400 in my dart and and one on my 360 in my cuda. Both bolted right on and gave me great throttle response right thru redline.
I think the Carter and Edelbrock options could have been combined though since I believe the Edelbrocks are basically Carters.
They aren't the same. Internal passages etc. have been changed from the original Carter design. They are the same as much as Demon/BG's are the same as Holleys.
I'm a Carter fan (surprise, huh?), but I have to admit, Holley got it right with the 3310 750/780
Your question was totally open ended. Favorite carb of choice for doing what? Cutting grass? Blowin off the sidewalk? Total race car? Street car? Combination of both? 100% street? Mileage?
Some kinda square bore Holley will probably be best for all out performance. By contrast, some kinda spread bore with vacuum actuated secondaries will probably best for 100% street and some semblance of mileage. Between those two extremes, you have a multitude of different configurations to choose from. From there it boils down to a matter of personal taste and ability to tune.
Some say Holleys are easy to tune. Some say they are not. I agree that they are. It all depends on what you are familiar with and what you know.
Asking someone else's opinion about your project is like going to a whorehouse blindfolded. You might regret it.
Can swap springs and rods without having to remove the carb or drain any fuel. Could change jets without dumping any fuel either.
I guess once you have it all together most of the tuning is external, but the power valve would be annoying to me to have to drain and knock off bowls every time until you got it right.
Believe it or not, I'm not asking for opinions for my project (this time). Just trying to see what the majority prefers, and why.
There's a lot we can learn from others' opinions.
Absolutely not!They aren't the same. Internal passages etc. have been changed from the original Carter design. They are the same as much as Demon/BG's are the same as Holleys.
I like thermoquads, they are difficult to learn, but are an excellent unit to use.
I really did love my DP Holley!!!
Right carb for the right application! Works every time!
