Quote:My ran fine on my 408 crisp thorrtle respondance no off idle stumple. Plenty of Vac 18" and crisp idle. It did run out of steam up stairs but thats was only b/c on the lack of CFM. What issues did you have???
Had one...didn't like it...switched to Holley and never looked back. I suppose for a stock or near stock build low CU IN motor it would work OK. Probably wouldn't use it on anything bigger than a 318.
Quote:Hmmm i never had any of those problems. Did yout open up the carbs or just run them out of the box. Either i will say that i notice that my demon doesn't empty out the bowls as fast as the eddy i had after sitting for a few days in the warmer summer weather.
Had a 1406 on a Buick 350 and a 1407 on a 440, both had hot start problems and flat spots...put Holley 750 on the 440 and it was like night and day. Went back to the stock QJet on the Buick.
