I would never get an edelbrock again.My holley 4150 is the best carb I have used ever.Tuning its just what you prefer because on the edelbrock you need to open it up to tune it good.HOLLEY ALL THE WAY!!!

here it is flat out, holleys are the best!, and out perform a edlebrock anyday!

but edlebrocks are very simple, and easy to tune, but they dont have the potential to out perform a holley

holley is the way to go since edelbrocks are cheap and crappy.So what the holley is a little more involved in the way of tuning but will be much better in driveability and power.Demon carbs are holley based, come with a tuning DVD and have all the good features of the holley carbs which would make it run better than the holley

If your sights are on any serious peformance in the future, get a Holley. If you want a basic, no bs carb.. that works for the street and offers semi good performance, get an Edelbrock.
