Demon carbs
Is the idle eze system worth having on a Mighty Demon? The one I have does not have the system and I am thinking this could be trouble getting it to idle correctly. Do I try and sell it and get one that has it?

You live in NJ, why didn't you go to the tuning session?
Thanks,
Joe

If it is idling lousy, just introduce a vacuum leak, like uncapping one of the vacuum ports and see if it improves. If it does, then the idle-eze MIGHT (but I doubt it) help you.

Lars briefly discussed the idle-eze.
I will be honest, I am really into the carb tuning stuff and I have never met anyone who actually used the idle-eze.

My understanding is the size of the cam not the cubic inches. My cam is going to have a lot of duration. I'm going to fire the motor up on the old 750 Holley because I know how it is set. I will then change to the Mighty Demon and tune it in.

The more displacement the more duration the motor can take. A 383 can take about 10 more degrees of duration and act the same as a 350 with 10 less. So a really big displacement say a 454 SB can take a lot of duration and still act like a 350 with quite a bit less duration only a ton more torque. I went up about 5 degrees on the intake and about 10 on the exhaust over the cam I ran in the 350.

The idle ease is close completely on mine due to the posted discussion above. No need for it.. Keep it closed... Dave.. Why don't you get the Demon you need for that 383 anyway?? You need the 750 mechanical secondary version of the Speed Demon... Dave

Your on the right track Gordon, try the Holley first, you may need to jet up and your famaliar how it works, then the Demon. We'll make you a fuel line like mine with the inline filter and 6an fittings, makes changing carbs easy. With all of that duration you'll need the higher CFM's. My idle eze has always been closed, Lars recommends closing it and forgetting about it......

I've been thinking about going to the 750 with my new setup.. Dave.

My 825 Race Demon came with holes drilled in the throttle plates, maybe check to see if yours came that way. Mine idles and works perfect
