I hear very good things about ProSystems and AED. But several people swear by Braswell if you can afford the extra dough. Dave Braswell is apparently one of the top carb guys on the planet, so you may want to speak with him. Also, their carbs are not modified Holleys. They are 100% Braswell made and have some neat features and beautiful construction.
I went with Pro Systems. I did their initial spec questionnaire which asks all about your build. Then I ended up talking with Patrick about my specific uses of the car. Ended up with an 858cfm with manual secondaries and all the good stuff (race floats, etc). Patrick will tell you that once you have one of his carbs, you are part of the family. In my case, he just said not to ever touch it without calling him first. The Dude abides!
