Looks very cool, I see it will be submitted to some engine testers for dyno results and real world numbers.

Some of the claims are laughable, hype machine at work!
Variable venturi carbs have been around for several decades.

I worked at a carb company part time that made carbs for motorcycles.. it had a slide also.. it wasnt magic either.. I dont see how they can claim a better atomization over a injector... pressure does wonders

I will say this, technology has made old concepts that didn't work at all work really good now. Remember cylinder deactivation on cadillacs back in the 80's PURE GARBAGE! now almost every car made has it and it works almost flawlessly and greatly improves fuel milage. I say lets give it a shot in the hands of experts and see what it does, they will find out real quick if it is junk. Just saw the pricing on thier website nevermind my pro systems carb ain't going anywhere!

For the money you can get several bolt on EFI units.
Carbs are pretty much dead tech, these guys don't have a prayer at a $2500 price point. Guys coming in to hotrodding now have little to no interest in dino age fuel mixers either.
Totally agree, I was like cool till i saw the pricing, I would rather spend that money on a holley dominator EFI that is way more adjustable for any combo I want to build. That carb can't richen fuel with nitrous activation or boost increase, EFI can
