I'm looking to buy a new carburetor this race season and wanted opinions on these 2.
1. Bigs stage 5 950dp carb, currently on sale for $500.
or...
2. Proform 950dp carb (about $630).
Any opinions, experiences, pros/cons with either would be great. This is going on my 410 small block listed in my sig. Thanks!

I like the new Ultra 850HP carb. If it's a mild build, you might consider the std. 950HP. Brian

Currently I have a "750dp"...it started life as a 650dp, I added a 750 Proform main body. It works well, just always wanted to see if a 950 will pick it up a little. One of my buddy's at the track with a similar engine had a race Demon carb, switched to a 950 and it ran exactly the same...so idk, it might help, it might not.

My old motor, the 390 which ran a touch slower than yours does, but in a heavier car, was maybe .03 faster with a 1000 AED on it over a 750HP and maybe .5 MPH. There wasn't a lot of difference.

I should probably start this in its own thread, but there was a third option I was considering....Converting my current carb to e85 using this kit from Rob Mix: http://www.ebay.com/itm/750-850-950-1050...000&vxp=mtrHas anyone had any experience with this conversion? Pro's/cons? This is on a 10.9:1 compression motor. Any better ET gains switching to e85?

Thanks Dustin for the link. I remember reading this thread a while back. I'll look AJ up and see what he suggests for my car .
