in their haste to get 950-1000 cfm versions of their own 850 design to market,
Holley was just labeling their carbs with cfm numbers, to match Demons actual latest offerings,
the difference being, BG carbs really DID flow those numbers.
Holley carbs on the other hand, did not.
we all knew this was happening.
here's another example:

I believe they will bolt together and you will have a 950 (flows roughly 830 cfm)

this may seem like a dumb question , but why would adding a 850 base plate to a 750 main body, give you a 950 ??( that flows 830 cfm) if the missmatched parts flow 830 what will a 950 flow (if there the same ) im not asking this as a smart a%^ just dont understand ?? thanks Ric

950 is just a number; it only looks like a CFM rating. (Thanks a heap, Holley!)
