Which CARB Barry Grant VS Holley HP
Hey guys,
Just ready to pull the trigger on a couple of carbs for my built 496's. I am at a stand still though trying to decide on the Barry Grant 850 down leg OR Holley 950 HP. Any input or would be helpful. Need to decide before going to the dyno next week. Thanks, John PS I am leaning towards the BG |

I don't have any experience with the Holley HP's, but I can say that Barry Grant's customer service and product support was excellent. My friend Mike bought one of their first generation carbs after they started using their own castings and they bent over backwards to correct issues and help him get it working properly on his application. Once working the carb was reliable an never failed (and looked cool too).

getrdunn - give champion performance and have your engine specs handy. I forget offhand who does their carbs but they are all custom to your engine. Saves valuable time on the dyno. Last two engines of mine were nearly spot on from the start.

I believe Pro Systems but they can tell you more. Should come in about the same as the BG and HPs but with a custom piece.

950cfm is a lot of carb for a 496ci. An 830-850cfm should be plenty.
|
Better yet, try to borrow one of each and let the dyno tell you what to buy.
