Carb suggestions

I'm in the market for a new carb.

I was thinking of either
Road Demon 625 vacum secondaries, electic choke
or
Holley Street Avenger 670 (same type of setup)
the Road demon is a little bit cheaper.

I'm sick of this POS edelbrock. Any other suggestions? I don't think I want anything too big and stay under $400

I think you got it under complete control. If you like the Holley style setup, you cant go wrong with Demon. High quality cheaper than Holley, same design. If you got good vacuum, nothing wrong with vacuum secondaries. Electric choke is the only way to go.

Same as the 670 just a little bigger. The Demon and Holley are both built alike. They have almost the exact same design. If you have a run of the mill 300-350 HP engine then the 625 or 670 is big enough. I personally would go with Demon because they are cheaper and offer the same thing as Holley, and I think they both carry a warranty. Both companies will set up the carb from the factory if you give them a call. All you got to do is install and run.
