OK, I voted just to see the results... and I question whether you're getting legit data on how many people run "big name" custom carbs. As many people on here who are so quick to endorse (or curse) Pro Systems, BLP, Dale Cubic, AED, et al, that seems like a lot more than 15% (currently 6 of 41 votes) must be buying "somebody's" custom carb. Or maybe I'm mistaken and the majority of Moparts people are just buying $600 Proforms and calling it good. And what about the fact that the # of people who voted on your poll is only about 1/4th of the total viewers? What, everybody else runs EFI?

I put in my worth. Although it is not completely accurate. We have tried a few of the bigtime carb shops stuff and it has been amixed bag for sure. For the street strip stuff and a lot of that type of stuff we do for customers we do them ourselves. But we also use a couple of the big name shops. We have been very happy with Gary Williams and Bob Book. I wish I could afford some Braswell stuff We haev also had some very bad results with a couple of shops as well.

I use a pair of Pro Systems SV1's,so I need to call them to make any adjustments untill I get the "hang" of them.

I sent my 1050 dom to QF to get changed over to E-85.. I was working then so the money was well spent since I didnt have the time... 95% of the time I work on my own junk.... the QF up date was the only time I ever dealt with a carb shop

I think there is a misconception that every one runs high dollar carbs because nobody posts up pics of average everyday looking carbs. The poor folks getting it done with common junk are a lot more common than the people who can afford the high zoot stuff for a few hundredths or maybe a tenth here and there but post up and say "I got an old 750 double pumper today!" and nobody cares, tell everyone you got a new SV1 and every one wants to talk about it and see pics and here the results. As for number of views that is me checking back in repeatedly after voting initially
