Re: carb debate

The web address is www.quickfueltechnology.com

When I was looking for a carb for the 496 stroker I'm building I ran into the rep for Quick Fuel at a swap meet. He didn't bad mouth the Barry Grant, Holley or Edelbrock carb.
He just pointed out the performance results that he had on a chart and I was sold on the Quick Fuel.
The comparison was ran on the same 440 with each carb by a dyno shop.
Horsepower and torque was given at the same rpm for each carb and the Quick Fuel just blew the other carbs away.
Though Quick Fuel paid for the dyno runs on each carb with the independent shop it was just to confirm what Quick Fuel had done on their dyno.
The carbs used were in the 750 range.
I bought the 950, which outperformed the 1050 Barry Grants and Holleys.
Another selling point was that each Quick Fuel carb is tested on an engine to make sure it works correctly before being boxed to be sold.
