"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.
