What size carburetor do you run, size engine, use?
What size carbs are you running on what displacement and for what type of racing?

Last carb I ran was an 850 on a .60 over 427 BBC bracket motor. Worked well, might have gone bigger for more hp but the goal was consistency.

pumpgas 420 sbc
1000 demon
90% street 10% strip
I've been told the card is too big
(and I tossed around the idea of a dominator)

Drag only 427 standard bore bbc with 1050 holley. Tried 825 Demon and lost about 2 tenths.

Re: What size carburetor do you run, size engine, use?
355 cu/in SBC stock LT-1 hi-rise intake with #4777 Holley, milled choke tower, de-burred throttle body, OK heads (230CFM int/190CFM exh) Ultradyne solid roller (243/247@0.050.) Best ET with this combo: 12.28@117MPH at the drags in a Corvette chassis set-up to autocross (1.58 sixty foot time.) I was told 650DP carb was too small but, putting a 750HP on same motor caused 60ft time to die (0.15-0.2 seconds loss on 60ft time) and no matter what I did to accelerator pump tuning it wouldn't ET as well as the 650DP, the 750HP did pick-up 1.5MPH. Throttle response in lower/mid range (2500-3200RPM) was important to me as I run Vette at autocross competitions so 650DP was carb of choice.
New motor 380cu/in SBC Super Victor, AFR 195cc heads, Comp solid roller Holley 750HP Ultra still waiting to get on the dyno. Should run into the 11's with new combo

Re: What size carburetor do you run, size engine, use?
I always liked my 750 carter afb the 9000 series...worked well on many 350's from daily drivers to
my street strip cars...or 2 600 afb's on a tr1yx tunnelram that is 12" tall. if you like to show off ..
all my daily drivers and street strip cars have 180-245 lbs of cranking pressure so carb signal is usually really good
I try to shoot for 200 cranking psi
another good one for a 327 was the 450 mechanical holley some reason that thing just plain worked well
I will run a Q jet before a holley for a street strip car...but when tweaked with a grinder the holley will hold it's own and turn corners way better than the afb's.
I have 2 Holleys i need to make time for
A 1966 corvette 300hp 327 Holley all original and looks pristine for its age, curious as to what kind of performance i can get from her and mpg in my 47 dodge
and a 750 double pumper i cant wait to grind on

Carter W1 on 181 cubic inches for stoplight racing in a 1934 chev roadster pickup, oh how I miss that carby, one pump of the accelerator and it would hand crank so much easier than the EFI currently fitted, without fear of kickback and personal injury.

Re: What size carburetor do you run, size engine, use?
I'll be running an 1190 King Demon on a 600" BBC. Tuneup not known yet, as motor is still being built, and whether or not carb will stay a 3 circuit or converted to a 2 isn't known yet either. Only thing for sure is that it will be on the motor...............drag only, 250" RED
