I used to hang out with a guy who could make one work on a drag car. His 440 altered and the 427 Chevelle he tuned were deadly consistent.
Never seen anyone else who could make one work on the street, or keep them from leaking gas all over.

I've got one of the earlier ones without the idle set up. It runs so rich at idle that I can't stand behind the car if its running, and it's a pain on the street as it has a stumble that you can't get rid of regardless of which direction you mount it. You can choose where the stumble is- under braking, left turn, right turn- depending on the direction you mount it. I THINK the later ones with the idle set-up may have fixed this.
HOWEVER, in a straight line it is VERY good- almost like fuel injection in that it is always very crisp and the power feels very linear.
I eventually gave up on it for the street. It now serves duty as the go-to carb for engine break-in. It works really great for that- 318 to 440, just stick it on and it runs.

i can get a predator carb for cheap it has the idle kit. hows the performance difference from say a holley 750dp. any one run one? thanks
one of the best carbs ever IMO. flat out hauls but, the 850dp I had on was no match for the Predator. the idle kit (which you have) makes it even better.
