what kind of carbeurator is everyone running on their car. i need a new one so im doing some research before i buy one. so far a holly street avenger is the best ive heard of.

 

I've got a holley 570 cfm street avenger on my 289

 

An all electric one

 

I'm running an Edelbrock 600CFM w/electric choke, although I kinda wish I had gone with a manual choke.

There is no "best" overall carb. If you want something to slap on a stock or mild small block, an Autolite 4100 is hard to beat. If you need more tuneability but don't want to be finicking with it all the time, Edelbrocks arevery easy to tune. For the most tuneability (at the cost of some reliability) the Holley design is probably better. I've heard that Barry Grant carbs(which use a Holley deisng)are amazing, but more expensive.

 

Holley 650DP on the '71, and a 750DP on the '65 F250.

 

no edelbrock...i guess im gonna go with a street avenger.

 

I have a Edelbrock 600 cfm , with manuel choke, its the right carb , but an Autolite 4100 we be the other way I might go one of these days

 

Im using the Street Avenger 570, dyno tuned and A/F mapped, had to change the jets to get a perfect result. Well worth the effort. Thats the idea of the Steet avenger, easy tuneability. If you want something to slap on that will run straight out of the box with no tuning - autolite 4100

 

Check and compare Holley vs. Barry Grant (Demon) on Jeg's,,,,, you mght be surprised,,,, last I looked, many (most or all) Demons were were cheaper than comparable Holleys.... matter of fact, I bought a couple of Mighty Demons,,,, they are nice... and they run good..

 

sorry to say, but demons are junk. in fact, demons are so tough to tune and so unreliable, that summit racing doesnt even stock them anymore. they had so many returns that the decided to get rid of demons all together.
