if you want the edelbrock then just recalibrate it. i'm going with a custom built holley whenever money allows me too, which will be ahwile

Neither one.
Q-jet baby. Only way to go. You couldn't run fast enough to give me a Holley.

I probably doesn't help you decide between a Edelbrock or Holley, but that wasn't my intentions.
I was trying to sway you to think more about a Q-jet. |

Eric get a Edelbrock and then order a Carter rod and jet kit. The Carter will fit the Edelbrock carb but you get more stuff in the Carter kit.

If I can get my stock carter Q-Jet to run good, thats what I will be running, good looking carb with a LOT of CFMs going through them, hold a tune real well too.
