That is how I see it. The new guy can get the Edelbrock tuned in pretty quick and easy. The Holley rocks at the track and will get all it can out of the engine if it is dialed in.
(Again, I speak of the 1850/3310 Holley, not the high dollar super adjustable units.)
This is not to say the reverse can’t be done.
The Pro System Holley is a far removed carb from the humble beginnings of Holley’s racing starts. It super removes from the basic Carter/Edelbrock currently being used and hugely advanced. And a good price increase over the other basic carbs.
On your 408, Edelbrock only has an 800 CFM unit. I can see where that would be a limitation on YOUR SPECIFIC engine. On that 1,000 CFM TQ, (LMAO!) I’d like to try mine on your engine.
