Ok, all the expert opinions and advice aside, I know 2 things...
1-The Pink Whore C/J 812 ran like a raped ape with an 1150 on it. Need proof? Go watch some You Tube.
2- The Crazy Eights C/J 888 ran like a raped ape both at the Big River trip and @ the Long Beach race with an 1150 con it. Need proof? Again, see You Tube.
Brad bought the carb, it's an 1150 in brand new condition, he scored on the price, it's going to make his boat run like teh previously mentioned raped ape.
Thank you
I'm just throwing this out there because I feel left out of the peeing for distance contest...
The 1150 is an excellent carb for it's intended purpose, to run balls out with little throttle response needs...
We ran an 1150 on a real healthy 427 in a river boat, our driver could drive the snot out of it, but I could not....It simply just did not have the EFI like pick up I was used to. I really liked the 1050 and could get the boat settled down and them hammer the hell out of it without issues, no stumble, hickup or fart...Never saw any difference in WOT RPM
The simple fact that our driver ended up dropping time off of practice legs led me to believe he liked it too...
Now all that being said, if B rad can figure out how to keep the throttle blades nearly WFO, it will work badass....
If you drive like a girl, like me, you will hate it...It's almost like having a time delay...Me no likey....
I was very fortunate to have a good freind blow their engine to smitherenes several years ago, it literally doubled our test parts...we even used his drivers seat
(Thanks Joel

"Drag Race only" has to do with the orientation of the floats in the bowl, a drag race carb could not handle the pounding of a CJ IMHO, it could flood and have all sorts of float level woes...An offroad HP carb typically has sprung floats for stability....
