Piner clan,

That they will only sell a carb to an engine prepped and tuned by them
ought to be all you need to know about whether you need one or not.

When claims of 25% increase in power arrise, is this before or after
they had thier way with the engine?

Apples and oranges I say.

I tried contacting them a year or so ago.  I got an automated reply that
they would sell the carb only on an engine prepped and tuned by them.  Sure
is interesting though.  As I understand, Fireball Roberts had considerable
success running a Fish on a Pontiac back in the days when NASCAR was still
running on the sand in Daytona.
Give them a shout and let us know if they have cahnged their marketing
strategy.  If they have, Jim E. can buy one and evaluate it for us.  A 1:1
comparison with Webers!  That's as good as it gets.
Bill
