Demon Triple D Six-Shooter
Anyone running one of these setups? I've always been in awe of 6-pack carbs & think it would look great on the 383 I'm going to build for my 79. I would welcome anyone's experiences or opinions.

Yeah, well there you go. They got a lot of balz asking that price ($2300 at Jeg's). I guess the intake is a low production item & they have to charge a lot to recover the engineering costs, but you can easily price yourself out of the market. I looked at a Tremec kit yesterday, priced over $4k. A performance 700R4 is only $2k with the rest left over for the engine. Think I'll stay with tried & true.

I love mine..............the kit is complete, gaskets, fasteners, everything you need to connect other than the pump to fuel log line.
And the sound when they all open up is addictive (though not too good for fuel consumption).

One problem I saw right off is they are under engineered. The the Demon triple intake ports are tiny. They are port matched to FelPro gasket size 1204 or something like that which is stock head intake port size.
So if you have something like AFR 195 heads your intake is smaller than the head port. So they were not meant to be used on a performance car.
So it's another all show and no go item!

Plus I would expect to port/gasket match any none race style intake that was going on high dollar aftermarket aluminum heads.
Sixshooter package: 383 HP @ 5700 rpm, 402.9 lb-ft torque @ 4200 rpm
Air-Gap/Speed Demon 650: 370 HP @ 5800 rpm, 390.2 lb-ft torque @ 4400 rpm.
That’s +13 HP and +12 lb-ft torque over the Air-Gap/Speed Demon 650 combination.

In your application it made more power. That's great. It's also just what I said, they were designed for the lower performance market. That is the sub 400 hp machines with smaller heads ports
