Re: Braswell
It isn't a comparison. If money allows, go with the Braswell............

Re: Braswell
How big are you looking for? What are you looking to put it on?

Thanks,

Not really much of a comparison but I might be biased
In all seriousness from a fuel control standpoint we're going to have a better piece. Plus we custom build specific to each application rather than a mass produced component. If you'd like to give me a call we'd be glad to go over your combination and see what we can offer you.

While Dave and the gang in AZ are far more talented than I will ever be, if your serious about winning I would also look at the offerings from BRE:

Re: Braswell
I'm sure your boat will run fine with a Holley but if you look at IHRA Pro Stockers, where money is no object, a lot of them have Braswell. That tells me something. By the way the carb you are talking about I believe is $2,995.
Re: Braswell
Talked with Doug at Braswell, he doesn't think they have anything that will work with my combination.
So what would you guys recommend?
510ci offshore power boat
9.5-1, Brodix cnc BB-2 heads
I was thinking Holley Gen 3 Ultra #0-80902RD
Thanks,
Jim

Re: Braswell
Braswell has some really great stuff, I can't believe they don't have anything to meet your needs but if that's the case try giving a call to Bob at Competition Carburetion 775 331 5609 he should have a package for what you're doing. A few years ago I had him build a custom 3 circuit with power valve Dominator for a customer running a 582 inch Chevy in a jet boat. It has such good driveability that people can't believe it's a Dominator.
Re: Braswell
Could be wrong, but I wouldm't be surprised its a rule problem with the bore spread or some other rule issue.DaveMcLain wrote:Braswell has some really great stuff, I can't believe they don't have anything to meet your needs but if that's the case try giving a call to Bob at Competition Carburetion 775 331 5609 he should have a package for what you're doing.

Re: Braswell
I guess I should rephrase, I was asking about the B7395 and he didn't think he had anything that would work. I'm sure they could take a Holley and make it work.DaveMcLain wrote:Braswell has some really great stuff, I can't believe they don't have anything to meet your needs but if that's the case try giving a call to Bob at Competition Carburetion 775 331 5609 he should have a package for what you're doing.

Re: Braswell
I'd just save my money and buy the Holley. The difference between a good carb and great carb is only 2 or 3 hp.

Re: Braswell
At your compression I would not want to go too big, unless you are spinning it above 7500 I would look at a QFX 4700 2 circuit 1050. If you want to spend a little extra for a custom carb call BLP.

The RPM limit is 7000 by rule & I want to have them prop it at 6500 so I think a 1050 should be plenty.

Re: Braswell
X2 giving BLP a call
That's all I do is offshore and fuel control is the least of my problems.
You must be facing that new OSO class rules. Ought to be interesting.
Goodluck
