The Barry Grant, Mighty Demon Carb is, in my opinion the best carb made today.

"I looked around and realized that no one made a carburettor specifically for these guys who want big power on pump gas, or the racers who need a low-cost racing carburettor without all the stuff they don't know how to tune anyway. So we took out the features they didn't need, tuned the booster for better response on lower-compression engines, and priced it better than anything you can buy from our competition." Barry Grant. 

The Mighty Demon when paired up with the correct engine will give any Race Demon a good run for the money.  You'll get Race Demon performance and driveability adjustments without cleaning out your wallet for that last nano spec of fuel to gain that last .001 off your time slip.
Mighty Demons have mechanical secondaries, No choke horn and are available in 650-, 750-, 825-, and 850-cfm, or even an 850-cfm annular-discharge model.

All Mighty Demons are priced the same out of the box or you can opt for the FBO Systems full teardown, inspection and baseline set up.

Mighty Demons are designed for today’s "Pro Street" and or Bracket Racing engines, relatively low compression for pump gas, cams in the 240* - 260* duration at .050, good gear ratio's and high stall converters or 4-5-6 speed transmissions.  All this adds up to rapid acceleration and a carb that can respond quickly to fuel demands to maintain the correct A/F ratio's on a hard pull.

The applications don't stop there, add more compression and the carb will respond.  Easily tuned from Idle to WOT with the changeable air bleeds in the air horn for idle and WOT throttle circuits this carb can be tuned easily for everything from a 1/4 mile door slammer to a 4x4 mud bogger.

In my opinion when the parameters are correct this is the best carburettor made by anyone today.

The Barry Grant Catalogue specifies very exact specifications for the use of a Mighty Demon.  We like to use these parameters as a guide and don't believe they are etched in stone.  For example the Demon catalogue states that 240* duration at 50 is the minimum cam spec.  

We've had great success with these carbs with cams as low as 230/234 if the car is light enough, has plenty of gear, good stall converter and set up for WOT driving.  As long as the rate of piston speed increase is adequate this carb will respond very well and perform flawlessly.

On the flip side if the cam is correct but it's a 4000lb car with a 3.23 gear and a 1800 stall converter, forget it and go with a Speed Demon and use plenty of 4 hole spacers to try and get some torque back into the motor.

 

This cutaway  from the Barry Grant web site reveals the basic Demon construction, billet baseplate and metering blocks and the venturi's that are cast concentric with the booster centreline. The air inlet is also patented and offers big air flow improvement over all competitors.
 

 Race Demon Metering blocks have five adjustable emulsion circuit orifices, these should never be adjusted without the aid of sophisticated Dyno data.
 

The Mighty Demon metering block comes with 3 non-adjustable bleed circuits.
 

Race Demons use brass nuts (that require a special tool) to remove and alter or change the booster design.
 

Mighty Demon's use a swaged in place permanent booster.
