I was going to get one but they don't have an 800 AVS2, only the 650.
Wow, thanks for your reply cause when I called Eddy's tech line last year, the tech said no 800. So glad they finally made an 800 version. I may get one for my 383 if I use the turned down 440 crank instead of a stock rebuild.They make an 800. I have one here I plan on using for a 440 build. Good carbs!

Has anyone tried the new Edelbrock AV2 carburator, it promises better response and fuel savings or is it just alot of nonsense?

Let me re-phrase the question, Edelbrock has come up with a new mouse trap, the primary annular booster, replaces the age old regular fuel dump, the new carburator is called the AV2, not AVS, does any one know if this new feature, used for donkey ages in Jet engines, annular can discharge, is really as good as they claim or is it just propaganda marketing ?
Well generally speaking, annular discharge boosters do help with lower-end response. Especially on larger carbs or lower vacuum engines that may give up a tad down low. The common theory is that they don't benefit the WOT and may actually hamper it, very slightly. If they have annular boosters on the primaries only, who knows...maybe an attempt at a 'best of both worlds' setup?Let me re-phrase the question, Edelbrock has come up with a new mouse trap, the primary annular booster, replaces the age old regular fuel dump, the new carburator is called the AV2, not AVS, does any one know if this new feature, used for donkey ages in Jet engines, annular can discharge, is really as good as they claim or is it just propaganda marketing ?
Used them 4 times now, 2 500's and 2 650, in each case much better throttle response, no bog of idle anymore.
I changed a 650 performer with a 650 AVS2 on a 383, and a 750 performer with a 650 AVS2 on a 440.
I don't feel a difference in power, maybe there is when you put it on the dyno, i don't know, but in regular traffic, much better.
Do the existing metering rods work with the new carb? I am running an 1812 (Edelbrock 800 AVS Thunder) on a 440, runs very well, but this is intriguing. I am wondering if my existing tuning (rods, springs) would carry over?
