    Just a little note for anyone with a bg carb or who might be in the market for one. I took the bg carb off my car because of some of the drivability issues that i have been chasing. I been on the phone several times with there tech guys bought books on carbs and spent many hours tuning on this thing. I even had some good carb guys turning screws on it. I pieced a bunch of parts together the other night from a box of parts, guess what. First pass last night at the track my car went faster than ever. ANd works perfect cured all of my issues with the same jets setup and all. Driveability was way better. ieven went five rounds in footbrake and put out the track champ when my car went dead on! My sinopsis... bg carbs are a waste of money, save youres and put junk together!

    I've heard a lot of guy's complain about BG carbs having metal shavings in them from new, always have to take them apart a clean/blow them out before using. Also hear that they often run very rich, need to fool around with the air bleeds to get them to run right.
