Title: predator carb?

Anyone ever try one of these? If it does as advertised it seems like it might be the perfect match?

theres a couple people that run them with good results... but you cant beat the reliability of a good holley.

I ran one when I first got my boat. It worked OK but was noisy and had a whistle. Put a holley on and had better performance. The reason I went with it at first was because of the altitude change I encounter through the course of the boating season, It worked great for that. The guy I sold it to had more cubic inches and a whole lot more horse power in a car and he still loves it.

I had one on my stock 460, seam to run good for my application at the time. I was under carb'd with a Holley 650 and the predator had smooth acceleration but I missed the sound of the secondaries kick in.
