Default Carb Advice, Please!!

I have a set of 572'2 were 1,050 HP with 871's and 950 Nickerson carbs bumped up to 1000 cfm. I just purchased new 14-71's and intercoolers from the blowershop. I have to make a decision on carbs but don't know a thing about this technical stuff. Would I be better off getting 4 Barry Grant King Demon carbs or these Bigs performance carbs http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33550
The King demons are $955 each and the Bigs are $1100 each
Any advice will greatly be appreciated!!! Thank you

Stay with the carbs you have. I am running @ 850's on Quad rotor 572's and it runs great at 950 hp with cheap heads, small headers and modest cam. It also idles in gear at 650.

PS The boat is a 36 Skater, not the Formula at the left. LHP Fla. now.

I may be a little biased but I'd put the King Demons up against anything out there!!!
