AVS2 compared to Street Demon?

I like the Street Demon, comments about Demon carbs being junk aren't related to this carb at all. Demon (Barry Grant) had quality control and final manufacturing issues (lots of carbs sent with shavings inside, incomplete machining etc.), I believe they came out with the SD design right before Barry Grant got bought out by Holley, which is why it's now called a HOLLEY Street Demon so you know it'll work and be made right.

Personally the AVS2 seems like a waste for that much money; you could get a used Carter or Edelbrock AVS for 150 bucks and just swap over the boosters, big deal. The Street Demon is a completely new clean-sheet design, first new 4-barrel in what 40 years? The newest one I can think of is the ThermoQuad which you can tell heavily influenced the SD design.

Doesn't mean the AVS2 is bad I just wouldn't spend the money on a new one if it's really just an AVS with annular boosters added. Still running on a 60-year-old carb design plus you can't get the "aircraft-grade composite" fuel bowl to keep the gas cooler. JMHO

Oh yeah I'm running the 750 cfm Street Demon on my Duster's 5.9 Mag 'hybrid' it works awesome. I have also tuned and run Carters and Edelbrocks they are fine carbs just a tad old-school but I HATE the bowl design, can't go around corners or hit the brakes too hard you might stall out!
