    If the body you got is a higher flow rating---you will need to give it more fuel--bigger jets, power valve, pump/squirters

    Are all the gaskets on correctly? Power valves ???

    I don't know if you want a Demon. I have seen a lot of complaints about their QC including metal trash in the carbs out of the box. I also have heard that they have a weird stumble, not easily cured, coming onto the the primary circuit from the idle circuit.

    I own an earlier model Speed Demon and have not used it yet but I will be looking inside it before I do. Let ya know if its chippy!

    I wish now I had bought a Holley 4150HP carb for $200 more.
