NEW CARB for NOS !!!

Hey guys ck this new piece out from pro-systems ....looks bad ass !!!! what do you guys think ...40 plus hp over anything else .......hum

Looks cool and simple. I'm not much of a carb guy, but I would like to see how it runs. I have ordered a carb from Pro Systems for a street car project and we dynoed it and it was dead-on. We didn't change anything.

That's a wild looking setup

The Predator is back.............

That is a sweet lookin unit!! I bet it sounds pretty wild when you flop that big plate open!!

From what i heard Steve is doing some testing with that new piece it will be interesting to get some feed back from him

I wonder if you could convert the dog legs or annular boosters to the tube style? The boosers are straight across from each other.

Bill

if that thing works i would like one on my BBF wonder how many cfm that thing flows

On their web site ( http://www.prosystemsracing.com/svseries.html ) it claims to start at 1100 CFM and can be machined to 2600 CFM!! Only the largest needs a Dommy intake, all the rest will fit on a 4150 flange.

I think I'm gonna need more cubes!!!

From the testing I did with Patrick everything worked great.. We have been to Sunshine a few times with it making small changes at the track as well as afterwards in some of the programs...

As far as an ar filter or hood scoop hold down, it's my understanding it will have a pair of holes drilledf and tapped on each side and a bracket will also be offered for a hold down point... Thanks, Steve

any updated testing info Steve ?

I have a member on my site that ordered one and I can't wait to hear feedback on it. His combo is a SBF N2O drag radial car

ah, didn't see this before i started the other thread on this carb.

Does indeed look interesting.

Pretty wild to see a one barrel carb that big.

How does that thing work with a nitrous plate?

Not very well !!

Will require a pretty big spacer or a direct port system... SJ

Hey Steve I was just curious how this carb was on the 4 corners compared to the regular 4 hole 4500 when using multiple stages all direct port, just curious how it affected corners of manifold or corner cylinders? thanks in advance. Jeremy.A

Hi Folks,

Atomization is much better with the SV1 over a four barrel so it really evens up distribution. BUT lets say you have a lean or rich section. You can simply drill the booster holes in the section you want alter distribution.

As far as an air cleaner goes...there is a simply bracket that bolts onto the top with a stud hole in it. Its on the website about 3/4 the way down.

Thanks. : )

I appreciate the input Patrick looks like a very nice piece especially for the classes that limit single carb cast manifold cant wait to see first hand. Jeremy

I also wonder if other carb companies will follow this type of technology

In order to protect our investment in this design, as written, our upcoming design patent will protect us from any other single venturi carburetor development with similar layouts to our SV1. I will fight anyone trying to circumvent that upcoming patent tooth and nail.

In other words, China won't be doing a knock off of the SV1 and then releasing it in the U.S.A. under the flag of an American company selling it as an American product.

This is an American designed and manufactured product, hopefully protected by American patents. I'll continue to make every part I can in America or any of our "friend" countries (Among others, Canadians and Australians are heavy racers, talented machinists and great people too). My ultimate goal is, the SV1 being 100 percent NON-Chinese built. As of now, the SV1 is the only carburetor I know of that qualifies for the FTC "Made in USA" labeling. It qualifies by a LARGE margin. Paperwork has been filed (that's a long road).

My opinion concerning Chinese products is not a good one. I feel they are ruining not only America, but even the rest of the worlds economies. They are dragging us down to their level as a result of reported inferior workmanship and reported labor tactics. But with many components you have no other avenue (the casting molds have left the U.S.A.).

I feel these reported Chinese labor tactics undermine our work force and require us to operate at these low price labor/low quality rates to be competitive (you then get lesser qualified or unhappy poorly paid people for the job...unhappy folks typically care a little less about the product or the company) and as a company you are forced to put out inferior products (or products machined to a lesser quality level) to compete. I will not drop the SV1 to these levels. I am not trying to compete with the Chinese carburetors that are being sold through American companies. I feel the SV1 is the Ferrari or the ZR1 Corvette of carburetors. World Class and not cheap, but Quality and Performance is its highest priority.

As you know, Patent protection is the best way to guarantee those "Mission Statement" levels are not compromised.
