Holley sniper vs. Edelbrock pro flo

Yo
Edelbrock is a newby in the carb world?
As every brand has their info listed on their sites, and everyone of them thinks their stuff is best, I personally would be hesistant to be contacting the fabricators themselves as it sounds like you're fairly susceptible to 'advertising text' and info.
I would also look for people who are actually using the products, and then base my decision on that.
Actual users are the ones that will most likely give honest and real world information about the bad things some products might have. Online supportforums for both brands are also great source of info where you can easliy spot 'trends' of the more common issues people run into.

Brandnames and costs aside, my personal choice would always be port-injection over throttlebody injection.
You make a good point about the reps not being 100% honest and just trying to sell the product. But I was kind of expecting that. I plan on having both groups give their pitch and try to sell me in the product and see what stand out to them. And as far as getting real people's opinions that's what this forum is for haha. But the support forums for both brands is another good idea I'll check that out as well.
