If you want to find beer you go to a bar. If you want to find Holleys.......you go to "any dragstip" USA. There is a reason why they are there. If I was to run this poll on "racing junk" the results would be a landslide. I certainly don't mind seeing Q-jet at the top because I bleed CHEVY ORANGE and Q-jet IS GM!!

Also want to thank the MODS for leaving the thread where it is! It would have not received this much response in the engine and drivetrain section!!

Great thread and poll!

Up until now I had no idear there were other carbs than a Holley...
