I gotta buy a carburetor tonight... which one?
Okay, I am ready to purchase a new carburetor for my new rpm air gap intake. But which one?
I like Edelbrock, cause it's easy, cheap, and good on gas mileage.
I like Holley because it is powerful.
I like Demon, cause you can say you have a bad *** demon carb...
The summit guy that I talked to said I should go with the
Edelbrock performer 600.
I think I would need bigger than that.
My 350 has been bored over, I have shorty headers, 3 inch exhaust, the edelbrock rpm air gap manifold, and 194 camel hump heads.
I really want a good balance between performance and gas mileage.
I am looking at:
Edelbrock performer
Holley street avenger (6% better fuel economy, but better than what?)
Or the Road Demon Jr.
let me know asap. I am buying tonight, so I need some opinions...

Go here: http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLin...FMSC/FMSC.html . Use the formula (go ahead and use 100% VE). Write down that number.
Now go here: http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/TechSer...fo/TI-225.html . Draw a line between the RPM & displacement columns appropriate for your engine and read the CFM from the 3rd column. Write that number down.
Buy a Holley or Demon double pumper no smaller than the 1st number and no larger than the 2nd.
Forget air valve and vacuum secondary carbs. Do you have a tow vehicle, or a performance automobile?
