I went with C&J engineering. It was spendy, but it's supposed to rock in the desert. It has a small electric fuel pump that sends back any fuel it's not using and the bowls are side hung.

I dont like the Vacuum secondary carbs for performance driving. (Only have tried Holleys) If you use stab and jab style maybe ok for you but the power is really on or off and hard to modulate mid throttle power in turns etc. Let off a little vaccuum comes back and shuts secondaries and bog. Then you have to stab it to get it back and too much. I never saw any difference in gas mileage with vac or double pumpers and the mechanicals were always so much nicer to drive. If you want to save time and have it work out of the box C J like Eric did above looks great. I dont know where C&J gets their float bowls from. Holley used to market an off road kit for the side hung floats etc but no longer available I think.

That sucker pump set up is genius , would it even need spung floats, even if the floats bounce, it can t flood. I wonder if a dp could be rigged like that but different, ie drill the bowls where the un used port is opposite the fuel inlets, at the same height as the check plugs, then plumb your drain holes from there, don t understand the need for side hung bowls.

Some quick googling shows at least on ebay vendor selling an off road kit, and sprung needle valves, jegs also has the 6-513 sprung needle valves.

anyone using the holley avenger truck series

I tried a Truck Avenger, it had a bad stumble off idle that I was never able to correct. I learned that this was common and I dimed it off and got the C&J carb like Eric's. I have a vacuum secondary one on my prerunner and a double pumper on the race truck both have worked flawlessly right out of the box. I highly recommend going to C&J first. Pay the money and save the grief.
