Re: POLL: Holley? Q-jet? or Edelbrock? Let's finish this once and for all!!!!

I depends on the use.You can't beat the original Quadrajets on a stock manifold.The spread bores give a perfect balance of power and economy.There is no one specific carb for a modified motor.Q-jets on a stock manifold still do the trick on mild builds.It's when I change the manifold that I go to other carbs.I only change the manifold on a total build,not add-on.When a build will benefit from a dual plain,air gap,or dual feed I go to Holleys.My latest is a 670 cfm Street Avenger for a hot 327.One carb I have learned to stay away from is the Holley 600 cfms.
