    Doesn't hurt to ask but all your going to get is various personal opinions.

      Stealth Carbs (Tony Smith), 423-339-2272. Best carb I've ever had.

      Super nice guy. Spent about 45 minutes on the phone with him and he answered every question I had and from what I can tell was honest.

      He is difficult to get a hold of and occasionally it's easier to e-mail (it's on the answering machine). Tons of knowledge and makes a great carb.

            Yes. JDR 417-859-2353. Easy to reach. As far as I know the others mentioned have their versions too. Best to call and talk to all of them.

              Get ahold of Baker Carburation He's has an outlaw carburator thats all alum. The guy has worked with some of the best in the business from local racers to Nascar.

                        If I was in the market for a new carb, I'd ask an engine builder which carb produces the best fuel curve thru out the rpm range you are looking to run.

                        I've got a Willy's that I've been pleased with.

                          When my engine was freshened this year my builder ran my standard hp 4150 Holley 750 cfm against a couple reworked aftermarket guys carbs and we found no benifit at all on the engine dyno. All we did was rejet it to the engine. With a chassis dyno you might find some HP with other carbs. jmho

                              I can't claim they're the best because I haven't tried them all but JDR has been great for us and I have no reason to try anything else.
                              For whatever reason, it seems like there are a lot of good people in the carb business.
