I just talked to Jesse at Bigs Carburetors and he seemed so friendly and helpful I had to order me a carb from him. How are his carbs? He swears my car will pick up from the Demon I have on there now. I also want to know feelings on the Super Sucker I bought one of those to. I went from a 750 Mighty Demon to a Bigs 950hp. What do you think? .60 13.5 to 1 340 engine .650 lift roller cam,M1 intake Eddie heads ported. Car has run a best of 11.17, do you think maybe a 10.99 is out of line?

Do you pay your dinner bill before deciding what to eat, too?

I have no first-hand experiences with his carbs. However, I did some internet searches in the past (some months ago) trying to see what the general opinion of his work was and it was sort of bizarre how the feedback ranged from to at what people thought they got for their $$$.

I had a BIGS Stage 7 950HP and I liked that carb so much that I upgraded to a 1050 Dominator from Jessse this winter. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and he takes the time you need on the phone with him. I highly reommend!!!

I ran a 750 Mighty Demon on my 340 with 13:1, ported heads, big flat tappet........

On more than one occasion, it back-to-back, outran a custom 950 (for my car) and another 950 HP.

I hope yours picks up with the 950.

BTW, my 950 flows 964 CFM and the Mighty Demon 750 flows 950.7 CFM.

Bigs can snatch that 10 for you hands down. His 950 stage 5 runs super sharp on my motor both on the street and the strip.

Jesse did a 1050 for my motor and a 950
for a friends "Brand X chev" that
gained 15 hp over the old
holley he had. Both carbs have been flawless.

No worries you made a great choice...

A few years ago my Dart Sport, small block stroker was running low 11's with a well sorted out 830 Holley... I upgraded to Jesse's recommended/personalized 950 HP .... it picked up over 1/10th and over a mph (in a back to back to back test on the same day). Never had a carb that just worked perfect right out of the box.

Now I have his 1050 Dominator on mine and the 950 is on a friends motor which runs AWESOME. Jesse helped us get the 950 set up for that car too.

Also, Jesse's customer service is OVER THE TOP as far as I'm concerned... It's embarrassing how much this guy has helped me out with carburetor stuff
