Re: Best Street Carb?

It will give you good fuel economy and driveability (unsurpassed cold starting and driveability) while on the other hand it's capable of making huge hp numbers because the smallest size this carb comes in is 750cfm.

It does everything you would want of a carb. This carb gives the motor exactly what it needs, easily and accurately adjusting it's parameters based on engine load, rpm and altitude to maintain the best power to fuel economy balance, and coupled with HEI ignition is the most efficient system for any GM SBC.

Can anyone guess which one I'm talking about?

Sheesh, I sound like a salesman.
"quadrajet"......have 2 of them I'll give you......I'm running a BG Speed Demon and I'll never go back to anything else. Billet metering bodies, high quality construction, comparable price to Holley. Marginal fuel mileage, but it's not a daily driver so who cares.
