Carb for 408

While I can do my own carb work I have an old buddy do my Holley stuff... when I have him do my core(new or used) I wont even have to adjust the idle speed... he gets them perfect.

I paid $275.00 to have him do the last 4412 I took to him.

It pays to use a professional.
I don't have a lot of time right now, but I've definitely got a lot more time than money. I don't really mind putting some hours in to learn how to tune a carb myself even though I definitely see how it's probably more effective to have someone who knows what their doing do it for you. I just enjoy doing things myself for the most part, even if it takes screwing it up a couple times before I get it figured out. I guess one of the main questions I have here is if the things I read about the edelbrock and street demon style carbs being better for cruising and fuel economy than the holley DP like I'm reading. I have very, very little experience with the edelbrock style carbs and haven't read near as much about them as the holleys, so it's hard for me to compare. I'm not super concerned with how easy one or the other will be to tune, as I have to learn either way.
