New carb
 

In the market for a new custom carb, which would be the best choice, AED or Nickerson?

AED !!!!!!

AED carbs and customer service are great. Good tech help also.

pro systems..patrick is great to deal with and his stuff works !

carb
 

nickerson has been great with my carbs on my hp500s. i even had issues with rubber from my fuel pumps months after he freshened them up and he went through both of them for free. the issues that i was having was caused by my fuel pumps,not his awesome carb work.dean is a pleasure to work with,and his carbs are flawless!!!!!!!!! i am in the process of building a pair of 548/650s and he will be the guy doing the carb work. he has also done a speced out 950 for my prostreet camaro that performs excellent!!!

Prosystems!

If you are looking at the Dominator style, I would recommend you get a 2-stage carb or you will run rich in the mid-range. For the $, the new Holley Marine Dominator 2-stage carb will be a good value.

For what holley charges for their carbs you can have one custom built and tuning right out of the box for about the same cost from prosystems..did it both ways...cheaper less time consuming getting one from patrick

go with aed.good guys to deal withand decent prices.

I agree go with Pro-System

Pro-System or a Willy's

I LOVE the look of a Willy's as a bonus

Nothing but success and great customer service with Blake Carburetors!

yp make things more confuseing....C&S Specialties....look at their aerosol version,,efi throttle response..

Ask Pro Systems if they do 2-circuit. I sold the two Pro-Systems they did for me. Bob Teague also recommends 2-circuit only. The new Holley marine Dominator is also USCG approved.

I use TRC located here in PA. They can custom build anything you can need.

2 circuit Dominator
 

I agree with using 2 circuit Dominator. I sent Pro-systems a 3 circuit (8896) that was running decent just a little rich at 1/3 throttle. After getting it back it was so rich off idle and through the middle it would barely run. I ended up blocking the intermediate circuit completely now the engine runs better than ever. 496 bbc running just over 85mph in 24 ft V.

I will say Patrick gave good support but it is hard to tune over the phone especially when it is so far off to start with.

Anyone ever use quick fuel carbs? How about Chuck Nuytten?

Some of these new carbs really have some bling factor to them thats for sure....
