best carb for off road?

[vancelot69]

Sorry if this has been posted before. When searching, I only saw one thread related, but he was asking which of the carbs he had was best. I would like to know which carb currently on the market (read: new) is best for off roading. I saw the 4-wheeler article from 2001 that said the Q-jet style is the best, but I have heard you can't get them new anymore. A co-worker suggested Holley Truck Avenger, and when I Google "off road carburetor" one of the links is to Summit Racing Edelbrock Thunder series AVS Off-Road carburetors. I have thought about fuel injection, but I don't have a grand to pop for that right now, plus the metal work to get the O2 sensors on the exhaust, so I'm trying to keep it on the cheap, even though a $500 carb isn't really cheap - may as well save up another $500 and get the injection kit at that point...

Anyway, any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks!
