Response to Which carb do you like better Holley, Demon or Edelbrock?

As I stated in my previous post, the E-brock definately has it's place on MILD applications. You can run them in a BB motorhome up to 6,000ft and not have the BS(rich) the multi-piece Holley's put out and you may even squeeze a little more fuel economy out of them. Both the T-Quad and the Q-Jet are excellent carbs on proper application. There are guys running in the stock apprearing classes in the low 11's with a properly tuned Q-jet and I also run one on my Cad. I have seen some real good running T-Quads as well. It doesn't mean you won't achieve the same with a Holley, sometimes it just isn't necessary as they are not the only carb out there. I am certainly no expert on every carb, but I have an example:

I ran 12.97@ 108.8 mph in a stock(no exhaust) '70 Caddy Eldo parts car with a Performer intake/E-brock 750 carb. w/ electric choke@ 4,440 lbs(slightly lightened), 3.07 gear and 150hp shot ...you think the carb wasn't working? I have a stack of time slips. The thing was consistent mph wise, just no traction. If you want to drag race an FWD Eldo...don't.
