A buddy of mine just tried one out. He is quite adept at tuning and adusting carbs. He had to send it back 'cause he couldn't get it to work at all.

I Installed mine and seems to work Ok so far. I need to lean out the primary side as I installed the 74 jets they provided. A bit too much fuel. I will try 72's and see how that works out. Idle seems good and WOT seems great! Just a bit of tuning and I think it will work out great!

My whole theory on street driven cars with carbs is that chokes make life a lot easier. Sure you can mill the choke shroud off of a Holley or buy a Proform center section. They will flow more air. But why not just get the next size larger carb and keep the choke?
I just jump in my car no matter how cold it is, step on the pedal once, turn the key, and drive away. It runs as good as if it were already warm. It sure beats the chokless method.

Ive been considering the pro form kit as well. However the car I want to put it on would be my daily driver. I also live in Houston, where the temperature doens't get too cold. So I'm 50/50 about the choke situation.... Currently I leave my choke all the way open and have it stuck there... never seem to have any problems.... anyone else have an opinion/pros and cons?

I live in California. The temperature where I am really doesn't cahnge much throughout the year. Still, the addition of a choke makes a huge difference. With a choke you can start it and go.

Almost all the feed back I've seen has been positive on the Proform main bodies. People report improved et & mph. I've seen one or two reports of tuning issues but I think they got them straigtened out.
The tuning can be a little tricky sometimes. The guys at www.quickfueltechnology.com can be a big help with problems. They are the ones that build the Proform race carbs. I've talked with Marty Brown and he's a very helpful & patient guy. I think you'd be happy with the results if you're looking to optimize performance.
