Chick's Carb Shop Concord, N.C. Anyone who works with him is faster. Has done a bunch up here in our area. Mike Cicchillo is a former Nascar engine tuner, and knows his stuff! 704-796-5863

I will check that out. Read all the updates on the Southern All-Stars and the Carolina Clash, just to name a couple of the southeast series'. I think you will be surprised how many run his carbs. I wouldn't trade his quality and workmanship for anything. You take yours, I'll take mine.

Sean Murphy does most of the Rochester 350s ran at Motordrome charger class-hit or miss in the holleys though- my experience. My Keith Black 350 from Summit dynod better than 2of the three SMI did for us. They've gotten so big that service after your carb comes back is not so good. 6 wks. At least on turnaround. Have used KB once- seemed ok.

There are 2 elite carb builders , KB and braswell . Braswell only answers the phone during business hours and they tend to push carbs that make awesome dyno numbers but lack drive ability . The braswells have tremendous adjustability but without Bradley from braswell being there it doesn't help the situation. Bloomquist , birkhoffer , mars , erb and many others run KB , Owens , Blankenship , Richards and lannigan run braswell. If your getting direct tech support from braswell like they are but KB treats everyone the same and will take time to address any issues you have . The man has TREMENDOUS knowledge about carbs. Baker carbs are a joke , his shit shit junk and he's a royal jack off. I have a hard time recognizing a guy know for limited 2 barrels in classes that pay 200 to win as a reknown carb expert . KB and Braswell have both won millions of dollars worth or crown jewel races and its not by accident
