Looking to put a 950 version of either of these manufacturers, opinions? Experiences with either? Thanks in advance.
Essentially they are one and the same, assembled and calibrated at the Quick Fuel facility in Bowling Green. The calibration sheets are identical except for the anodizing color of the base plate and metering blocks. Quick Fuel are red, Proform are purple. On my 1050 both Quick fuel and Proform are even cast into the main body. Nice and responsive carbs. As a side note if you need more carb for your combo later, either 950 can easily be converted to a 1050 later with just a new center body assembly (includes air bleeds and nozzles), new jetting/and a 50 cc secondary accelerator pump.

I have a Quickfuel and like it a lot. No problems at all. Just make sure your bowl sites are metal. The plastic ones will melt with the new fuels.
I have a proform. It works great, after i did a little bit of work on it Just make sure that if you buy a used one you rebuild it and replace all the gaskets. And make sure that the previous owner did not change the jets.
I have used Quickfuel since they first started in business. Only place I would go for a carburetor. Fair price, great service and a quality product. If this sounds like an ad, it is because I believe in these guys. Jim Netherland 2007 NMCA Nostalgia Super Stock World Champion 67 Buick GS 400
The reason QuickFuel and Holley are located in the same town is because the two guys who started Quickfuel where the flow engineer from holley that created the HP series carbs and the main saleman. Quickfuel uses some parts from proform and modify them as needed. They are not the same group. I can tell you they got my Tunnel Ram carbs dead on. Starts and idles great.
Yes, that is what I recall. Never less their is a Buick guy that works there and really knows what BBB's want for carburetion. My 4150 (1050cfm) QuickFuel has gone mid 10.50s on my heavy race car over 10.60's to .70's using an old BG (same cfm) that had years and years worth of tuning... I say QuickFuel
O' Man! Your not suppose to tell everyone about the kick butt buick tune 3 circuit 1050 in a 4150 footprint. It's a secret! I won't tell anyone about how it shaved .06 off the 60ft right off the bat. O' darn! did it again.
I run 12.5's with my demon 750, 12.1 with my buddies AED 750! Imagine what it would do with the AED 1050:3gears:
