I just read about that a couple days ago. Seems the larger venturing flows less. I also read where someone bought an xp main body and it measured 3 different sizes out of the 4 boosters. Very poor quality control.

My experience w/ buying carbs & parts over the last few years has led me to believe the following: Every carburetor has the potential to be a piece of junk until someone goes through it and makes it "not junk".

Based on a refurb that I bought directly from Holley, that's still no guaranty it's right outta the box.

Yeah, refurb is not for everyone, but I'm not afraid of it.

I had a low deck M1 TR on my little 451 in my DartSport with Eddy heads and 590 purpleshaft cam. I ordered custom tunnel ram 750's from Quickfuel, car weighed 3050# and ran a best of 9.89 at 136.
Carbs were spot-on right out of the box and they had a wedge-shaped fuel bowl floats that were supposedly good for tunnel rams if I remember correctly. These days I wouldn't hesitate to order carbs from Dom.

Good luck to ya Dave............Billet is best period so to save a few $$$ here and there to have issues and inconsistency makes no sense and I've seen first had the variances from venturi to venturs on some cast main bodys.....

It all depends on what's left after the holidays money wise.

I know the feeling! I've been working over 50 hours every week to get my Challenger upgrades done.
