Holley/Demon Carb stumble

A carb configured like the 850MD, 1.560v x 1.750, downleg booster, DP, can be a challenge to get to leave hard....... even when it’s the right size for the motor combo it’s sitting on.
Which in this case...... it’s def not.
Add in the 8000’ DA and it just gets worse.

Watching the vids of it on the motor, looking down the carb during the attempts at winging the throttle and seeing it’s not anywhere even remotely close to working as well as it would have to, to get good launches by footbraking.......it’s time to accept that no matter how much you mess with it....... it’s not going to work as well as something that’s just a better match for the overall combo.

If you’re having a good time messing around with it, that’s fine.
The fact that there’s .2+ gain in the 60’ by swapping to another carb tells the tale.
On that combo, at that elevation...... it’s the wrong carb.
JUST A NOTE TO THE VIDEO. it was in gear during the 2nt video that i just posted up a couple week ago,looking down the carb.

100% agree and i'm done with the Mitty Demon. I will keep it around just for the fact if i have a problem,and i know how this one works. i can throw it on to verify if it a carb problem or say ign problem. It worth keeping around for that. but have NO intention of putting it back on to try and tune it to my car.
Thought it was 2 mile an hour faster carb.........held on to that theory which made the carb worth keeping on. not any more. done with it.
The proform still need some work and i have idle and hi speed bleeds for it.
Beside it just runs cleaner all the way around, compared to the Demon.
IT ON THE SHELF!!!!
