I believe there have been a few threads on this already, consensus says spend your money elsewhere.

Of course from those who have not tried it.
 
I would love to hear from someone that has used it.............with good or bad results..................

I'M that kind of guy!
Want to hear about all the Details:D
 
@Johnny Mac was supposed to be doing an evaluation for us but he ran into a fitment problem. I don't know what's become of that, as he had the SEMA thing recently and I know he's been busy.

THAT said.

People have been running Holley and Holley style carburetors for 60 plus years with zero hesitation or hiccups. IMO, these things are not for trying to resolve carburetor issues, but rather to enhance something already there. I think they would be a band aid fix for some sort of carburetor issue. Just my personal opinion.

I think there a band aid for those that do not fully understand the carb. If you understand a carb and can tune it to the 9’s, would this help? Possibly I say because of what it does to the pump shot in fanning/spreading it out. The video explanation has a sound reasoning behind it.
 
Holley carbs were engineered with untold hours of R&D. If it takes a turtle or an air dam to even the flow or cure a flat spot, the intake is the problem. Power Nation did a 280hp N/A ford Lima based dirt track 4 banger with a 4bbl on its inline style intake and the guy had to put the same contraption in it to cure a lean pair of cylinders.

How much can they possibly cost?

If you wanna try it.... just get some and see what they do for your combo.
 
Did you go in the site and price them?
for a strap of brass......WAY TO MUCH.
 
If it was worth .01-.03 in the 60’...... it’s not worth $80?

Plus, I’d think it would be an easy thing to test at the track.
If it worked, imo.....it’s worth the $80.
If it doesn’t...... you got hosed.

But I know people who’ve spent way more than $80 for zero gains.

You could always try and dicker on the price...... 2 for $50.
 
Or better yet, manufacturer it yourself.
Let us know how you do it and how that goes for you.
 
You have a point.... but car is in cold storage until spring.
for sure, have spent money on go fast part for no gain!!!
Will see in the spring. But was hoping someone had tried these things already.

I've spent way more than80 bucks and went backwards. It's part of the learning process. The more it hurts, the more you learn!! Although some never learn.
