Same here. Bob will tell you his best selling carb is the 2.125 bore 1250. I had mine on everything from a conventional head 618 to a 582 HH Super Street car and a 9 deg 632. That carb is now on my friends 615 SR20 and out ran the Get'em that was on it.
I have a Book 2.350 bore on my 615 SR20 engine.

BOOK pulls fuel from everywhere lol…

Tony, how about we swap carbs to test? Send me your Book 2.350 and I’ll send you my ATM 2.400

Im like Tony I am trying to get a BOOK 1250 back from a guy that is at least 15 years old that switched to ALKY….I would bet it would run as fast as anything you are I got today…

As fast ain’t going to get me excited.

As I’ve stated here and in other carb threads…if you have the correct sized carb and it’s jetted correctly, no one can build you a carb that will run quicker and faster. No dominator, no twin blade no SV1, no dambest!

It could be faster, who knows but I am happy with my Book and every one that I have owned.

Of course I need a car! My Mullis is sold and the new car is at the painter. I should be getting it in September

Great you don’t need it now. send me the carb

Haha, it's sitting on the engine in the chassis at Racetech

Racetech don’t need it

Book is the only carb I’ve had multiple people tell me they’ve bolted on and been faster than multiple previous carbs. Heard a similar story as whomp of someone going to a known engine builder and at the dyno took off the carb the engine builder had tested and preferred and put on a book and was 20 horsepower better

Tony and Ed, I would actually be very interested in seeing the results on the carb swap.

Book is also about twice as much as other carbs

I can tell you for a fact that 20HP gained from a carb swap on the dyno translates to zero improvement on the time slip. Been there done that with 2 engines in both my cars.

I can understand that and saw the same with more horsepower on alcohol injection and ran faster on a gas carb that made less HP on the dyno

I’ve just had multiple trust racers tell me they were quicker with a book

I have a friend who has a Book carb that was ran on his Sunset 9 degree 632. It was replaced by a Nickerson carb who supplies carbs, gas and ally to many bracket racers in NJ, PA, MD.

I understand that but for 15+ years old just shows you they only so much you can do to one

That I agree with. No one is doing anything with a carb today that hasn’t been done for at least 15 years except gimmicks and marketing and with pro stock switching to FI 7 years ago, dominator carb technology and innovation is no more.

and the guy that invented a carb very likely rode to work on a horse

“The carburetor was invented 1885 by Karl Benz. It was a single-barrel carburetor”

Yeah, great.
But this forum is supposed to be about free exchange of information and ideas, and when the conversation gets shifted to private messaging because of the leg humping ediot, it doesn't really serve that purpose anymore.
Maybe the OP's problem gets solved, maybe we'll hear about it, maybe we won't.
