Anybody fitted the Barry Grant '6 Shooter' triple twin carb/manifold setup? Its a lot of $, but looks the dogs whatsits, so is it a good set up? Is it worth going for?

$2400.00 for 15hp and some pretty carbs ? Nope.

EFI The best. No carb's.
at all.

Nce looking setup!

IF you gotta run carbs it is a pimp'n setup.

groovyjay

No worries mate. If you are looking into getting that set up, I'd advise you to look at few EFI set up's too. There's few companies making throttlebodies for the 3x2 set up. The BG's carb set up is pretty high priced, so EFI might be an option for you...

Graemeinvette

Absolutely! I did look at EFI but decided I wanted to stay with carbs and the six shooter has all the bling as well!

way overpriced IMO

Classicvette63

Dang, and I thought the edelbrock 3x2 setup was expensive.

When I was rebuilding my '63 I thought a Hillborn injection would be nice. When I saw the price I decided living in my car was not an option.

Who says your gonna get 15HP from that setup, you might lose 15 HP ?

I would put them on, just because they are plain

Graemeinvette

Barry Grant showed 15hp gain and 13ft/lb on a mildly tuned small block replacing a Speed Demon 650cfm on an airgap, with the 6 Shooter.

Thanks for your comment cuisinartvette, its appreciated.

Am I reading it wrong or did the 750 demon carb and dual plain intake outmuscle it by 16 horse? 415 to 399???

korvetkeith

Your not, it makes less power than an optimized single 4 barrel setup.
