360 on the dyno

My opinion comes from the tuning ability when using a single plane intake with a high duration camshaft.

That's where the Holley shines in most cases. That's not a justification for superior design over the Carter design but Carter only used a single idle circuit and with very low vacuum levels at idle the Holley is better at distributing because of the four corner idle. Get a Carter with four corner idle and it would better the Holley in this department.
