Last chance to stop me from buying the hype...

I have one experience with a Predator.
From 30 years ago.

BBF on the dyno, motor had two of them.
Motor wouldn’t take a load....... never could make any pulls with it.
Several hours were spent messing with them by the owner to no avail.
Iirc, he’d bought them used and put kits in them.
I don’t remember what happened after that....... if we swapped to some shop carbs to continue on, or if the motor just came off the dyno.

I can tell you this........ in the years I’ve played with this stuff on the dyno(since 1990)....... I’ve come across way way way fewer really good carbs........ than really bad ones.
Im not talking about the stuff that works “fine”....... I’m talking about the ones that are either really good or really bad.
And there’s way more really bad ones.

Also, there a lot of people running around with poorly tuned, and/or just poorly calibrated carbs........ many of which are just flat out wrong for the application.
