I went with a Pro Systems modified Holley and am very satisfied with it. Pro Systems used to advertise on this site until they got into a p---ing match with a customer that blew clear out of proportion. I'd been running an 850 Holley that never really pleased me and after talking with Greg Schroeder, who has two of the Pros and goes into the 10's with his Roush 427, thought I'd take a chance. The price was not all that much more than an off the shelf Holley HP and my carb was designed for me. considering all the specifics of my engine, car, and driving. That all being said, Before the Holley, I had an Edelbrock 800 that was also excellent for driving on the street. I just bolted it on, set the idle, and had two years of trouble free performance before I thought I needed more flow from the Holley. You can get the Edelbrock for about $300 through just about anywhere, including Checker, here locally. There's my 3 1/2¢ worth.
