Braswell Carburators

Tell me everything you know about them?

Some fast ass cars use them. A friend of mine that runs ADRL has two on her car. other than that IDK

High end, custom built per application for the most part. Not cheap, that's for sure. Very popular in Pro Stock applications.

Damn fine stuff, not generaly for the average guy, They make the Big'un's for the Mountian Motors.

I decided to call and get some info.

Gave him my info and he replied that they wouldn't have any thing for a low rpm combonation like mine. (I even streched the truth a little and said that it might see 7,000rpm but on average 6,000rpm.) Pretty cool, a 529cu at 7,000rpm with 200shot is too small!

So now I did everyone a favor on the website! Don't call them unless you got big cubic inches at very high rpm and deep pockets!!

yeah, I called and my ADRL friend said she shifts at 9500 with her 726ci BBC on a 1000 hit. gulp

Yeah those are more for the "top of the food chain" type combos..................

You get what you pay for...... They are not for beginners..... These are Prostock and Heads up stuff.

As you know I am a beginner and by no means a high roller. I'll stick with Holley / Quickfuel / ProSystem carbs.

Carbs for the common folk, Hero's excluded..................

Braswell doesn't just do carburetors for large engines etc they do all sorts of stuff and Dave Braswell is one of the very best when it comes to carburetion. High quality carburetion cannot be mass produced and if you think about it with as much money as is spent on an engine what's another few hundred dollars when it can get you the very best? I'm talking horsepower AND longer engine life.

Dave Braswell has been at the top of the professional race carb food chain for at least twenty years. He only caters to hihgh end profesional level racing as a simple matter of having limited time. A nice guy to talk with.

I run a Braswell and never a problem!
