I have been thinking about buying A street demon carb to put on my high compression 327 and was wondering if anyone is running one.
I absolutely loved the thing If it's a certain or special look you need under the air cleaner under that's under the closed hood Well it might not be for you
Here's a couple from the discontinued Holley thread: https://www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/carburetors/demon/mighty_demon/parts/5282010GC https://www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/carburetors/demon/mighty_demon/parts/5282020BT
The one I was looking at is the square type, the street demon,but them looked like some good prices on the ones you shared.
had a fresh 1965 327 blue printed to the 365 hp Corvette specifications - ran a Edelbrock 1406 - motor never starved for fuel at full throttle
That's what I'm running on it right now,I was going to put A Qjet on it and seen the street demon carbs.They are A cross of A Edelbrock and A Qaudrajet.
I had one on my 49 International truck with a 290 horse 350 crate motor in it, and also one on my 79 GMC Sierra with the same engine. They run great out of the box, albeit on the fat side. Without internal tuning they aren't good economy carbs, but again perform awesome. Great starting in all temps. Now for the down side. I had both of them fail when the choke would start sticking. Then, while hot, the choke would literally slam shut and stall the engine. You had to pry it open with the a screwdriver. Both after about 3 years of use. I ****canned both of them, went to a QJet on the International and a Edelbrock 1406 on the Sierra. Sent from my SM-G960U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Qjets are good carbs ,I have been thinking about one of them or maybe trying A Holley street avenger.
Interesting, that Holley thread... I put a 625 Demon on my neighbor's Olds...Man, what a difference! Noticed it BEFORE doing anything else but changing the carburetor: replaced an Edelbrock 1406. Eclipseville. Vrooom!
