Has anyone who has used a truck avenger verify that they are worth the money? Everyone I know who has any exp with em, say that they either have stumble off idle or they bog. And no matter the amount of tuning can fix em, its either a stumble or a bog. If someone can tell how they fixed it or that they even had that problem I would like to hear about it. Thanx

Let you all know if it works out for me. I should call Demon and see how there 625 roaad demon jr works offroad, but they look like a slicked up Holley so I'm not holding my breath.Thanx
I did do the offroad mods to my #1406 that you mentioned above (minus the hose filling space idea). From personal experience, my carb has run great up/down hills at rather steep grades. I do not usually make a point to drive on sidehills
so do not have any experience with that. I do feel confident that I would not have any problems.The new Demon Road Trucker is available. I have no experience with it, but from past research on the Demon Road carbs, this is the one to beat. The cost is about $400.00 +/-

Good luck with your choice...

Yeah I heard demon has a new truck carb, worth looking at. I've bought a few bopoks on holleys since I started this thread and I have leraned alot! I'm currently using a Holley 4412 500cfm 2V. centerhung float, notched with jet extensions, extended vent and a off-road needle and seat. With the one float bowl to have trouble with I've been realy impressed with what I can do with this carb. I guese I have to admit that most my problems with Holleys in the past was due to my lack of knowledge, on set-up and tuning. This carb matches the rpm range I use my engine in the most, and has awesome throttle response and low end torque. i've tried a 600cfm 4V, but for what I gain on top I seem to lose on the bottom, and I'm quicker using my low end than winding her out. If that makes sense. thanx for all the replies, I forgot about this old thread. Thanx.
