I have to agree that the edelbrock is by far the best bolt on and run carb. However, I was at the dragstrip and after bolting on a 390 cfm holley on my 283 (yes the nascar mandated one) i got five tenths out of it. It knocked down 18 mpg on the highway and had unreal throttle response. Contrary to popular belief it only became restrictive at 6,000. It was the best $10 i could have spent on my car. And once i dialed it in it ran like a top. and with the right model all holleys run like that, you might just have to play with it. Call Holley and ask them which one is best.
