Default Those cool black carbs

Somewhere in one of the many page threads that probably ended in an argument someone (mild thunder ?) posted some pics of these killer looking black carbs. Anyone have the link or the pic to what brand they were?

Not those. The damn things looked like a work of art that you'd hate to hide under the air cleaner. I'd guess most likely cnc billet main bodies

It was in the thread where people were going back and forth about 4150 vs 4500 and quick fuel vs pro systems etc.

I was correct about the price link below and watch the video to. I seen them at last year PRI show in person and their booth was packed everyday. I guess everyone wanted to see their products.

I always get nervous with carbs that don't have a booster...#1...and #2 no real venturi to help those tubes smoothly draw fuel.

An application that has 2 purposes - idle and WOT, is much different than one that needs proper a/f ratio from idle all the way to WOT and everywhere in between including all different throttle positions and what not. These two applications are very different from each other, and again, thus why I get nervous about these non booster, non conventional venturi degined carbs. I would need a ton of proof from vehicles out in the field before I'd bite in.

Otherwise, they are awesome too look at and make Tim Allen grunts over.
