I'll agree the Holley hit a whole lot harder than the Edlebrock ever dreamed, but I don't like having to mess with it every time I turn around... it probably helps that I cann't fine tune very well either (I have old man hot rodders that know what they are doing to do that ;) ) It deffinatly took a little getting used to the 'brock but I really like it better b/c I never have to touch it hardly. Remember I'm lazy!!!
