There are a couple guy's in my class that run them and they seem to run fine. I have a ProSystems carb and if there is a choice I'd go with the ProSystems peace.

My son is using an proform 850 carb, works fine, no issues. He's run a best of 11.13 n/a and 10.11 on NOS, just a little .030 over 454.

I was looking into them, but for a few bucks more, I went with Pro Systems.

Money well worth spent.
