Title: Better carb?
Post by: H20Nut21Bahner on April 08, 2014, 07:30:29 AM
Looking for some input ..
Have an 800 Edelbrock on my Bahner. Have never really liked Edelbrock much. I've got a chance to pick up an 850 Demon.
What does everyone prefer?
Demon?
Holley?

Well I guess ill have to see if I can come up on a Holley .. pretty much have a set deal for the Demon, no money outta pocket.
I'm sure Holley parts are more readily available?

demon 750 here.  0 problems.  its pretty much the same as the holley.  anything is good as long as its a good price.  just know that the demon, holley, and edelbrock all have different fuel log setups so you'll need to grab one of those as well.

if the demon is a good deal, go with it.  otherwise keep your eyes peeled for a regular 4150 holley 850 dp with mech secondaries and it'll treat you right.

So the only numbers I can find on the Demon are on the main body .. 28
From what I can find on Demons website, it's a Race Demon 650. Not sure if it's been rejetted or not.

I'll check it out, thanks.
There's really nothin wrong with the Edelbrock that's on it, other than personal prefferrance. Think I may take that money and put it in to other things on the boat
