Hey guys just wondering if anyone is using proform carbs? If so let me know what you think of them.

I used the throttle body on my camaro. Just took the fuel bowls and metering blocks off my old carby. It made a hell of a difference, I could only imagine what it would have been like with all the proform gear on it.

ive only used there fuel bowls with the site glass windows easy for tuning. i was surprised to find they were threaded both sides for fuel inlet had to buy the blank for the inlet and i was also surprised to see the area marked out for quick change jets. not a bad price 140 for both fuel bowls seeing as genuine holley is 180 plus these days. havent used many of there other parts more of an AED fan for metering blocks and base plates and genuine holley main bowls

I was dyno testing a 308 solid with HQ heads.

The proform had a shit fuel curve and was down on power compared to a Holley HP ultra..

Could of just been a dud i dont know never used one since
