    If you've noticed Summit Racing no longer sells Barry Grant stuff. After they ate about $200,000.00 worth that BG wouldn't stand behind, they parted company.

    For what it's worth...when it comes to "aftermarket" Holley four barrels...it's damned hard to beat the ones from Pro-Form for looks, performance and quality!!! (The fact that they are compe***ively priced as well is just a nice bonus!!)

    I've never owned a BG carb, but several friends have and they agree they are not worth the price or the trouble. Getting the Demon tuned and set up can be a ******** nightmare. :eek:

    Sorry to here Summit got burned. I've always got great service from them on everything I ever got from them.

    Well I got my Six Shooter from Pace Performance on a close out deal paid $900 for it still new in the box. When I called BG they were more then helpful. I also spoke to 2 guys at a local cruise night who also had BG stuff and they said the same thing. Maybe I just got lucky and talked to the right guys

    Have 7 of them and no issues. 2 sets of dominators and three singles. No worries or support problems.
     
  9. he does, I have seen him.

    I equate issues with many things mechanical to folks that just should take up Croquet. Saw it in the bike business, saw it in the hotrod business. Humans really are a trip.
