    I'm debating between the two . I need a mechanical secondary 750 and the proform thru summit is like 50 bucks cheeper but I have never ran one . What's your guys's take on proform carbs ?

    I haven't run one but what I've heard about the proform it's a 50/50 split on reliability. Personally I'd go with the holley.

    $50 ain't worth messing around. Go name brand.

    I have a preform center in my holley 750 BP and it works great.

    I'm still researching too because I'm running a blow thru supercharger . Not pushing a ton of boost but want to know if with low boost a normal carb will work consistently with out tuning on it constantly

    Buy a carb built to be used with a blower.

    I'd buy the Holley. Proven performance.

    Demon makes a blow thru carb summit has for like 650 or there's a quick fuel that's like over 800 I don't think I want to drop 800
     
  10. Hmmm, Made in USA, or Made in China - you decide which one you want
     

  11. Proform is strictly racing junk. I proform main body with Holley externals works like a champ I have set up a couple, one needed a little messaging to make it work right but I would do it again. I donot think I would buy a complete carb, but that is just me I suppose.
     
  12. We sell and .prefer Quick Fuel. They make a nice blow through carb that I am using on the lakester. We also have their carb on Tims truck.
