Holley's science vs Edelbrock simplicity?

There certainly is a lot of tuning choices with the Holley's. Jets, power valves and plugs, accelerator pumps, cams, and squirters, vacuum secondary springs, bowl vent extensions, and the list goes on.
More accessories than at a Harley dealer. Probably tuning overload for most guys. especially street car owners. Heck many have issues getting the throttle and kickdown hooked up properly. Why would they need a carb with a hundred different combinations. Most of us could care less if this adjustment or that modification gains us a couple hundreds at the strip. "KISS" Keep it Simple

In all fairness, this notion "eddies work out of the box and hollies don't" just isn't right. I've bought new holley carbs and never had a single one that didn't bolt on and run real good right out of the box. The only difference is, with the holley you can fine tune good in to great (that last tenth at the strip you were talk'n about). Just because you have more tuning options with a Holley doesn't mean they don't run good out of the box. However, I've had eddies that couldn't get rid of a bog out of the hole, and not enough tuning features so I had to ditch the carb... for a holley and tuned the bog out.
