I like to use Holley carbs. How hard is it to install them on the Stage V inline intake and still use a shaker hood setup?
Although there is nothing wrong with Holley carbs on the Stage V inline intake, we don’t recommend them for most applications. The Edelbrock AFB or Thunder Series carbs are much easier to use, and allow the use of many factory components. We were so impressed with the power they produced on the Stage V intake, we developed a steel shaker base plate. Dyno testing has shown they are much easier to tune on this intake, while still making great power. Any base plate that clears the Holley float bowls will cause issues with the stock height of the shaker. We also have fuel lines and linkage kits for that stock appearance.
