Holley's science vs Edelbrock simplicity?

All my friends race. Sometimes I do their carbs. Not relevant what I have or don't have. I'm not here to bench race or brag, but to help with real advice.
Sorry if that's how I came off, it seams I I've been on the defensive for liking Holley carbs. I've had AFBs and to many TQs to remember but like I've said before fuel was an issue with the TQ.
The comment of idle, wot was juvenile.
