Barry Grant back in carb bussiness
Im sure this is old news, Barry Grant is back in business. His company is called Granted Acceleration. I looked at his facebook page and his ad states he does rebuilds and custom jobs starting from $250. Looks like he is doing good work based on the photos. I saw some Demons in there. Anyone try him? Looks like he is keeping his operation small.

I checked it out...yup seems to be back in business.
Not sure why I would use one of his carbs on the street, maybe racing. Between Quick fuel, Holley, Edelbrock, the OEM Qjets, and Fuel injection kits, my guess he is a little too late to the party.....

Todays Holleys are pretty damn nice.

He no doubt knows a Holley....but you might want to do some research on past business practices. It was a meltdown last time around at the end with some wild internet writings by him and lots of customer service complaints. I know my dealings with them was pure arrogance. Maybe it's all better this time around...let's hope so.

Not how to run a business - much less treat his employees- know a guy that use to work for him.
