Holley's science vs Edelbrock simplicity?

Honestly if it wasnt for fabo i wouldnt be touching a holley for any amount of money.
But a few members have given some good info on setting them up,at least to the point where im not totally lost.
There was a good holley guy around these parts, i used to send people to him, but he has retired. Well as far as i know. Hes driving a subaru...
