Carb dip

Is there anything better than the Berrymans Chem Dip? Is there anything cheaper that still works good? I am going to need a large amount, and at $20 dollars a gallon that get expensive. THANKS

I didn't like how well Gunk worked for me. I think it was weak.
I'd go for the berrymans!

are you putting it in a parts cleaner, where you you need LOTS?

I'm not using it in a parts washer. I have about 50 Holleys, 10 Edelbrocks, and 2 Predators to rebuild so I will need a lot.

I don't know about anyone else but the Berryman carb cleaner is CRAP! First off you really can't put any part in there because the opening in the can is too small. You can't soak a main body or baseplate. The parts that you do get in don't come out clean. Basically all this does is "loosen" the crud but doesn't remove it. I still have to take a toothbrush and SCRUB the gunk off and even then it isn't clean. I have rebuilt about 5 holleys and it is crap. I too am looking for something decent.
