AVS2 compared to Street Demon?

Well I'm going to find out the hard way. Just put the order in for the 650 AVS2 and one of their thick thermal blocking gaskets. Going to be nice to finally have a carb that works right.

Mango,
Did you use AN fitting for the hard line at the carb or just a regular flare fitting? I don't think it should really make a difference? All the fitting they were suggesting online were AN but I don't think my flare tool is compatible with that. I'd like to have as little hose in the circuit as possible and I'm not paying big bucks for a pre-bent set.
I unscrewed the fitting that the fuel line goes to from my original Carter avs, and used it on the avs2. Edelbrock recommends a banjo fitting that might work better, but I didn't need it. I did have to use the thick gasket, but I don't remember what issue caused me to need it. They also recommend a throttle linkage kit for mopars, but I didn't need it either. The only thing extra that I bought was the thick edelbrock gasket.
