18 Degrees of HP - Demons at Work

We have heard a lot about the Demon series of carburetors since they were introduced earlier this year. But the Trick Flow 18 degree head test was the first opportunity we've had to see a Demon at work.

The Demon is not just a good-looking rehash of an existing design; it's all-new from the baseplate up. The main body is made with a special die-casting technology that produces perfectly smooth, concentric venturi with specially contoured openings for maximum airflow. The venturi boosters are replaceable, which makes fine-tuning for weather or new engine combinations much easier. The billet aluminum baseplate and metering blocks eliminate breakage and porosity problems. The large-capacity float bowls ensure adequate fuel delivery and more stable fuel levels at maximum output, and feature large glass-sight windows for easy float adjustment. Demon Carburetion even uses non-stick gaskets to make assembly and disassembly easier.

Trick Flow used an 825 cfm Race Demon/RS for the test sessions. The important feature lies in the RS designation, which indicates the carburetor has removable venturi sleeves. Just swap the sleeves for a different size (Demon Carburetion has them in diameters ranging from 1.064 in. to 1.590 in.) and presto--you've just changed the carburetor size. Combine that with the 10 different types of replaceable venturi boosters Demon Carburetion offers, and the tuning possibilities are virtually endless.
