Ed Hamburger said a TQ was up to .2 faster than a Holley on an automatic car. He recommended a Holley for 4 speed cars . Both were prepped, but what did he know? For a race car use whatever works for you, you don't have to deal with it every day.
You’d be surprised at the general ignorance on holley tuning. Luckily for me, I have a mentor who is bringing me along. He doesn’t just tell me stuff, he makes me think it through until I so far in the weeds I actually need help, and I’m not just being mentally lazy.
It’s possible Hamburger just didn’t have the knowledge to tune the Holley as good as a TQ.
The amount of misinformation and straight ignorance on Holley tuning is staggering. Just look at power valve timing, and how the power enrichment even works.
Yet virtually every book, article, blog or whatever tells you the exact WRONG way to set power valve timing.
That’s just one of many errors still taught, believed and defend by guys who just read the books, articles and blogs.
