Looking for any experience with the Mighty Demon carbs since they came back out under the new ownership (NOT Barry Grant). Have they got their act together now, or are they still just a shiny, miscalibrated, poorly assembled POS?

Application.............I say this all of the time to some stubborne guys I know that want to go fast. Walk around the pits/staging lanes at any major event and see what carbs are on the "fast" cars and more than likely it`s Holleys or a version of............ 72 Dart 470 n/a BB stroker street car `THUMPER`...Check me out on FB Dominic Thumper for videos and lots of carb pics......760-900-3895.....

Dont know or care,I bracket race and the last couple hundredths of ET are not really that important.I know I am the exception on here ,but i likes my demon.

Started with a thermoquad, then the edelbrock, then a street avenger. Haven't tried a Holley with mech secondaries, but I can't imagine it would be much better. I did have to clean the metal shavings out though..... 1973 challenger Dana. 4 speed. Low deck.

But since holley brought Demon I think the Op is looking for feedback on them now the leaking, metal shavings and the bad rep came from when barry grant owned them.

If you still having the same problems i guessing it was old stock because barry grant never issued a recall as far as i know so lots of bad Quality control carbs are still on the shelf in supply house i betjegs, keystone to name a few, When i purchased my speed demon it was brand new but the box look like it was sitting for a awhile, It would be wise for holley to start a serail# on new deon carbs to keep track of the new carb vs the old ones.

Right, the new production run, not the old stock of Barry Grant junk. I've seen enough of that stuff first hand to know to avoid those.
