What Michael Yount said.I don't know about not going with a holley, as you could find a used rebuilt holleys for fair price and that would save you some cash.If you willing to put down around $400 for a good carb, take a look at the Barry Grant Speed Demon line of carbs.I run a 750 mec. sec. Speed Demon on my 357 (.030 351W), it's a very nice carb.I personaly wouldent touch an Edelbrock carb.
