Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

The ONLY way a carb really will work OOTB is if it comes out of a ThumperDart box.

Nice endorsement, but I doubt even Dom would make that claim...

Nice endorsement, but I doubt even Dom would make that claim... Highly appreciated and my best claims are that it will be closer to what you need, more tuneable and fully hand built leaving nothing that hasn't been looked at under a microscope. They mass produce, I don`t but they ALL still need some love although several have not even turned a screw w/great results. THIS needs to be said though; In Dragulas case where the carb I did was bad azz on a DYNO motor and made more power that the others, in HIS car things went south because of crap in the fuel system. Got another call w/similar issues, carb was good here then on HIS car fuel creeping issues w/an efi fuel system and N&S`s sticking for whatever reason...........nothing or no one is perfect along w/efi...........

Andy, are you getting the carbs direct from Holley, or doing it like the "every-man" and buying them from a place like Summit?
I haven't bought a new Holley carb for myself in a very long time, but the ones I've gotten for customers seem to have worked pretty well.......with the exception of the part throttle A/F ratios on 4500 carbs, which are just ridiculously rich(haven't tried a Gen 3 yet).
The only carbs I consistently found to have a multitude of issues were the BG Claw carbs, and the subsequent Demons. We were on the BG program, and at the time, they were about the only thing a shop like us could buy and sell for the same price as Summit, and still make some money on them. so, we sold quite a few. In the end, it just took so much extra time on the dyno to get them sorted out(and then often times, several phone calls from unhappy customers about issues they were having in the car) that we just went back to using Holleys. Of all the BG and Demon carbs we installed/sold, I only remember one that actually worked fine ootb.

The carb was waaaaaaaaaaayyyyy off.
I'm not expecting the carb to be perfect but this carb was so bad the motor would not run!!!
Just venting!! It's all set now after being on and off 2 times..
I'm not buying the " this carb has been wet folwed by Holley " All this because you didn't check & correct the throttle plate / transfer slot adjustment and mixture screw baseline settings before you bolted down the new carb?

Quality control is one thing, ridiculous tune ups are another and I see both more often than ever. I REALLY appreciate the kind words and as I`ve said many times; When I go for something I go all the way and have delved into carbs 110% and have given up most of my regular social life to do so. No more drumming in bars, hardly race (been 2 years) INSTEAD, I dig deep, read/study every single day and learn all I can from the smartest carb guys on the planet and let`s just say that MOST of them are not big carb companies............ Brad, it`s ok to get compliments................
