Fuel injection has been a popular upgrade for our classic Mopars. Although there are a lot of benefits, there can be a lot of disadvantages too. The good news is even though carburetors are older technology, companies like Proform are still working to make them better. Proform recently released their newest Race Series Carburetors with some big improvements.
Proform can not leave anything alone and decided that their already awesome Race Series carburetors needed some tweaking. The entire 650-1050 CFM Race-Series line features complete redesigns of the main bodies, throttle base plates, metering blocks, and fuel bowls. Now you are getting even more performance out of the box at a great price.
High-Flow Carburetor Main Body
The revolutionary Proform High-Flow Main Body is better than ever with newly contoured leading edges in the Venturi area to smooth inbound air for maximum velocity prior to mixing with fuel. Other new features included machined 2-step down-leg booster for better fuel/air mixing, and the air bleeds are further recessed into the Venturi wall for less interference.
Billet Metering Blocks
Billet aluminum metering blocks in Race-Series Purple or New Black anodized finish, have a new fuel bowl side baffle that integrates with the fuel bowl float to reduce fuel slosh and improves fuel retention lost due to inertia when taking corners or hard acceleration/deceleration. Additionally, pre-drilled emulsion channels to control air transfer to the main well for ultimate fuel/air tunability is a standard PROFORM feature.
Throttle Baseplates
The fully adjustable, multi-port, throttle base plate is constructed of solid billet aluminum alloy, so it will not warp. Standard slabbed throttle shafts with thinned butterflies and low-profile screws, reduces air resistance into the intake. It will also mate better with the intake manifold flange due to an enlarged surface area that has more strength and rigidity than previous versions. The primary and secondary throttle shafts are also compatible with different ratio linkages for increased tunability.
Center-Hung Aluminum Fuel Bowls
The all-aluminum fuel bowls, with sight glass windows and billet AN fittings for driver or passenger side fuel line connections, feature dual Nitrophyl floats. The new design reduces fuel turbulence with a lowered delivery ramp. More prominent internal fuel baffles control internal slosh by keeping fuel in the lowest area of the bowl during acceleration and cornering. Float adjustment requires only a screwdriver and 5/8-inch wrench.
