I will digress here a little. I can tune a carb just fine, and have found that for street applications... the AFB knockoff Edelbrocks are decent carbs.

But when you want to make serious horsepower for a street/strip application or a full on drag rig... a Holley or "Holley Style" (BG Demon, Quickfuel, Proform) carb is the way to go.
