95% of the time!
And I'd bet that goes pretty much for any other Carb off a race car . .[/quote
Carbs are quite simple, and when they are calibrated and sized correctly they work as they were designed. It's when they are plundered by those that think they understand them that it becomes an issue. A fair amount of time the problem isn't even the carb, and even if it is most of the time it's not too tough to fix. A used Holley is a gem to someone that takes the time to understand it. Same goes for a Demon, nothing a little massaging won't fix.
I'm wanting to upgrade to a Dominator and I really like the looks of the new Holley Gen-3 Dominators! I know there are many good carbs on the market now days and ton of people who can upgrade and customize carbs. I also plan to go with an Edelbrock 2970 intake that has the cloverleaf plenum and I plan to clean-up the runners and plenum myself and use one of the HVH Cloverleaf Super-Sucker spacers.
