For you carburetor lovers seeking the best, this could be what you need. If SEMA vouches for it, you can believe their word.

Looks like they have an excellent alternative to the standard carbs available. Wonder what the price will be?
Love the look and the performance stats. I'd be curious to see how they compare to the competitors.

The bottom two pieces are Delrin and the top is Billet so Heat is not an issue.
Price point is $2500 and Comes with a 5 yr. warranty. If you buy at the Major Shows ( SEMA Etc. ) you get 10% off.
With their mounting plate the height is comparable to a standard Holley.

I called the guy :)

Wow, could almost build a motor for that much. Looks cool though.

Man, that looks sexy, I want one. Sleek and fully functional. I know Grand Canard will be tempted.

Holy crapolas that is steep...FI is that much...is there going to be that much of a market for it??

I would have to think twice....maybe they will give 50% of to the first V8 motorcycle guy to get one?? Did you ask them Dennis??

Damn, I agree, CRAPOLA, $2500 is steep for a carb. On the other hand, if you did achieve the HP and torque gains, the price is good.
Regarding the SilverBacks stated performance gains, much will depend on correct or ideal combination of parts; ie heads, intake, cam, etc etc. Top-off the ideal parts combo + this carb on a new engine build and I'd bet money that you'd be somewhere between 475-500hp with a 350.
If a mans after power and performance I'd never build a new 350 though; fuck a 350, I'd install an LS engine instead, the LS3 carbureted 525hp version from GM.
