QFT carburators

[Nikkormat]

Does anyone have bad things to say about QFT carburators? I'm looking at a Quick Fuel Slayer 600cfm vacuum secondary carb for my new 401. I figure with some minor mods it should work as well if not better than a truck avenger off-road without the wonky metering on road. This is the carb in question:

Any experience with that carb or the brand in general?

its what i would buy.

Would you think it OK to run a Percy's plate on it?

yeah,should bolt right up.are you running up and down the mopuntain? cuz otherwise you don't need that.

i would get a set of low speed air bleeds one size smaller than what it comes with. it will extend the overlap of the idle circuit. it will also make it a tad richer altho thats more a function of the jets.

on the 4180's i rebuild and recalibrate these run real crisp with a smaller idle bleed.

Yep I run up and down mountains. I can change 9000 feet in a day sometimes. Ideally I need a Dial-A-Mile setup or fuel.inject but for now... A simple carb. I will keep the bleeds in mind, the low speed are the ones in the metering block? Or the ones up by the boosters?

jets are in the block,bleeds are in the body.
