I like them. I loved my Holley HP 950 on my old Vette. My current Holley 850 is not an HP, but one of these days I may upgrade to Webers or EFI or drop the Cammer in.
I think Jamo booted ol' Gunner; not sure if he's back yet. Remember I run the Holley 4160 vac. secondaries. It is the simplest carb known to man and it runs absolutely flawlessly. Now I know you can get them for under $350. I think the truth of the matter with carbs is that there is a tremendous amount of luck involved. It doesn't take much to make a great carb run crappy. And even a basic, right-sized carb will run like dynamite if everything is just right.
