Reply to "What carbs are you using on your Cleveland motors?"

Often people change carbs quoting one carb much better then the other when really they never even tuned it. By tuning I mean really tuning it not just a jet change. Most carbs being Holley, Deamon, or Rochester can be very very good carbs if tuned. If you compare one carb out of the box with out doing anything to it against another out of the box carb, it means nothing.

That being said I am leaning toward Deamon. Deamon being much like a holley except with changable bleeds and an adjustable air bypass. I am putting one on the 434 being built. Deamon is giving you control over things Holley doesn't want you touching.

I have a 4140 series carb now (choke tower and carb numbers cut off). I have drilled an tapped the bleeds and feeds replacing them with brass incerts (with the help of a superior carb friend)on this one making it very very responsive. I look forward to messing with the deamon (before I put the Webbers on it).

By the way, if you plan on tuning your car in this day an age, just get a wide band. Just do it. It takes the gues work out of everything.
