Default Demon 6 Shooter/Not for BB

Why doesn't Demon make the 6 shooter for a BB? The 6 shooter is for a SB. DUHHH. There's a lot of people with 67,68,and 69 BB Corvettes who are potential customers for carburators. I have Holley 3X2 carbs and need to have them rebuilt. (Actually I have three sets and I don't need each set to be original.) You just have to wonder why Demon doesn't make 3X2's for BB's.

There's a pretty big population of BB owners that would be interested in Demon 3X2 carbs for their BB's. But when they put this package together, complete apparently with a custom intake manifold, they targeted a population of people for which a 3X2 carb was just a curosity, not something really needed.

I sent Demon an Email asking about 6 shooters for a BB. They never answered my message.

PS: This is a new thread because something seems to be wrong with the Corvetteforum server not allowing replies. My apologies. Thanks

Oh, and as for why BG made the Six Shooter for the SBC first? Much bigger market. The almighty dollar.
