I bought a set for my Demon and they work like jets. Their size claims appear to be accurate to me.
I bought them mainly because they were the only set I could find the day I was looking. I'm in Memphis and went to Comp to get them.
Take care,

I have used them, they work good, but so does the standard Holley jets. I mean I never understood the advantage really..They might be nice for dyno queens etc. I always just jetted for best MPH at the track. I usually went two jets sizes either way until I found the best MPH. I tried a few times to go up or down one jet sizes but never really seen a gain or loss. The car just never was "That" consistent. to really know if a .02 was the jets or the car....
IMO
I would save My money

My issues w/ standard Holley jets are (a) the lack of precision in flow variation from one size to the next and (b) screwing them up - even w/ the proper jet tool - during jet changes.
Thanks for everyone's feedback.
I use the Holley's but I also dont like the way they
install(screwdriver) I do have to be careful not
to burr them but as stated above .001 in jet size
isnt going to matter... at least to me... plus I
have too much money into the Holley's now with 8 jets
in each size up to 100

Yeah, the screwdriver slot is the biggest problem with the Holley jets. I finally took a screwdriver with a large tip and spent some time on the belt sander shaping it so that it was a perfect fit into a Holley jet. That helped to keep from causing burrs but I still prefer the 5/16 hex drive on the BLP jet.
I have been thinking of tigging an short piece of
tubing over the sized screwdriver tip so that it
cant slip and mess it up(just a few thou larger than
the jet)

That`s why I bought the jet removal too that surrounds the outside of the jet and has the screwdriver slot built in so you CAN`T jack up the jets. It`s ade by MOROSO w/a blue handle(no part # on it). Again, I have $175.00 worth of maxi-jets and the billet holder I`ll sell for $80.00+ shipping. They range from #88`s-109`s in sets of four.
