Carb compare. Magazines Scared???

[Steve Chryssos]

Carburetors are like the engines that they sit on. Mass produced, they only work so well. But if you fully blueprint them, they work excellent. -Check all the passages for partial obstructions left during the die castings process.
-Size those same passages for the exact requirements of the test engine.
-Machine all of the gasket surfaces for perfect flatness.
-Dye or redye the castings after modification.
-Hand assemble the carburetor with zero tolerance calibration parts.
-Test the carburetor before shipping.
None of these things happen on mass produced $300 carburetors. So in an effort to domminate the competition, one or more of the manufacturers would supply "ringers". The magazine editors know that the results of the comparison would be anything but real world so they don't bother.

Excellent point.
