L05 vs L03, Which Holley TB is better?
I remember someone (Black Echo I think) saying that Holley 502-7 (670cfm 4.3 truck TB) was a better one to use than the 502-6
(87-89 5.7L V8 truck). Here's my problem. I have a 400ci small block and I want a TB big enough to flow enough air to feed it (the stock 350 L05 ain't gonna cut it). I am converting to multipoint, so all I care about is the TB's airflow, not its injectors (not going to be using them). So which would be better for my application?

I think that the injectors are the only difference between those two part numbers. I once e-mailed Holley about the differences, the worthless e-mail that I got back said something like "the injector sizes are different, the connectors might be different". Duh, I already knew that.
