Personally not a fan of the edelbrock carb. They can be a lot of work to get dialed in just right with jets, needles & springs. The carb I had on my big chevy a couple years back even gave me problems after it was set up right. Personally I don't think they are well made & though they do perform well when set up properly I would prefer a Demon or Holley any day. Demon makes a real nice carb that performs really well out of the box as does Holley. I used a speed demon for a while & a friend has been running a road demon on his small chevy for a couple years now without a problem. In fact he always talks about what a great carb it is. I will be using a Holley on my car for asthetic purposes, if not I would run a demon. Sizing your carb correctly is your starting point. If you do that a Holley or a Demon is "pretty much" a bolt on application. A couple small adjustmens may be needed.
