I had a buddy back in the late 80's that swore by them.... My comment to him was "I have never looked under the hood of a Pro Stock and saw one"... I'll stick with my Holley's..... :yup:

but.... if you could get it to work it may be easier to find a street race.... :laughing:

[BBC Malibu]

:yup: aint that the truth.... i got to looking at this and i think i'll stick to what i know (holley's parts) if this predator doesn't impress

[1badnova]

a buddy of mine uses one on his 355 and he swears by it....ive tried and tried to get him to switch to holley but i cant get him to do it.
but the motor is an alumunim rod with 14.1 comp. and a aries crank. with bowtie cast iron heads and a 688 roller cam. heads are flowed real good but the problem is he cant get out of the 12s...he is running a 4 speed and they are cool and all but you cant take a 1/2 second to shift everytime. i think i finally got him talked in to an auto. now if we could just get rid of that ugly carb...lol

Seeing that it's your friend, take the carb to the track and make a pass with the carb you have now, then try the other one. You can't beat that! :dunno:
