AED for me too. And it was a lot cheaper than the other guys!

I like my King Demons that I have. Had to do a bit of work to get them right, but I prefer to do all my own stuff anyway. I got both my carbs used for less than the cost of a new out of the box Holley and they were both in perfect condition, with the only calibration changes being main jets. Good deal if you ask me.

Budget go Quick Fuel.

Custom IMO... Pro Systems. Gains us power everytime!

How many of you have been able to see several brands in action on the dyno and track on the same engine/car/truck ?

Carbs carb selection can be tricky
They are all a little different, even the same size same brand/manu. Motor builders and dyno operators can tell you first hands info, but sometimes budget comes into play, also (in my case) I have a new combo and a little more power is good but I need to get use to the car first, so in conclusion we have some very "hands on" smart people on this forum. read figure out your what your budget will let you do, and whats important ( ie max power, hitting a number,60 foots,not breaking out, etc, etc, etc) thats why we do this car thing ???? the challenges ????? Good Luck
My motor builder/dyno guy told me with 540 (he likes) and usually makes more power with 1050 2 ckt holleys. So it can be tricky.
I was sorta leaning towards an 1150, but right now I just ned more seat time $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I have read alot of your responses and I value your opinion highly.
I got the 540 Nyes built (810 hp) BBC, Pat likes the 1050 holley, I did buy a new holley 1050, but I have not put it on the motor yet. It is still in the box.I ran the car with my older 1050 holley.I sent him that 1050 and it seemed to do OK but it is an older carb and could use a little TLC, probably held the HP back a bit, but I just wanted to get some shake down passes in, anyway. Any suggestions, I am not locked into anything You want me to try one of your carbs, let me know what size etc.
PS: done this year so we have time, Let me know

I was at Pittsburg Raceway Park in September at the 10K race. I had a Braswell on my car. I made a time run and went 5.68. Came back and switched carbs to a Quick Fuel and went right back out and went 5.61. Here is the best part. I had the Braswell custom made to my engine and car. The Quick Fuel was a recommended shelf carb.

Thats what I am talking about on this forum, real world stuff, info that is legit. Real results. I have a couple of baseline passes with my fresh 540 in the chevelle, but I will need to get the best performance out of the car. I know this is a little off track, but what are your guys feelings about a glide vs a T400. I have a 400 in the car,and was thinking about going to a glide.3660 lb mostly street driven 70 chevelle goes to the track about 10 times a year , all the interior 10.5 tire very stock appearing,but pretty quick......did not mean to get off track sorry,,,too much cough medicine
