Did ya ever wonder what race carb works better right out of the box?  I did. 
I haven't had much experiance with the BG carbs so I thought that since we were on the dyno anyway...............
Well as is other than similar jetting just as I had suspected a Holley race carb will out perform the Race Demon. BUY ABOUT 15 HP!
Now anything can be optimized with fine tuning and changing parts, but that was not the purpose of our test. We compared apples to apples just to satisfy our curiosity on my SS 289. One was worth about 25 HP over my 4100 Autolite and the other was worth over 40 HP more. We used only one 1 inch 4 hole spacer with both carbs. So I guess I still prefer the Holley products.  ------------------

Is that a fair comparison??? The Holley Race seems to match up better against the Race Demon or Mighty Demon. I'm guessing they also out hp the Street Demon.

Sorry, it is a Race Demon, not a Speed Demon.

This falls right into the real life (as opposed to dyno) experiances we're seeing with the junk Demon series carbs. I'm a fan of many BG fuel system parts but not his carbs. They are pretty, but not fast  .------------------
