Anyone ever done dyno check Holley vs. Edelbrock?

Holleys are a little more tempermental (sp?) but that also depends on what Holley you are dealing with. A standard 4160-4150 is just fine. When you go up the scale and/or add I. Racing tunes that change a few time during the day, well, there ya have it.

The TQ question ....

The TQ was first seen on favtory race rides in as early as '68 (IIRC)
There a born race carb. As far as there performance on the street, there my favorite. Excellent throttle response with the small primary, excellent W.O.T. Acceleration.

Getting a good one is key. Except the first year, the earlier the better. Like all Carter's before them, they only can be tuned so much. They stay in tune. Jet it, set it, forget it.
They are a little tricky to learn because they are a bit different. Once you get it, your likely to never go back to another. There in expensive to purchase and rebuild.

Parts however for tuning are hard to find. Use AFB/AVS rods bent 3/4 of an inch shorter and clip.
