Which carb would you recommend....

I am looking to get a more reliable..possibly smaller carb for winter and daily driving. I was looking to get a 600cfm performer carb. Supposedly you see gains in MPG.

Right now my 670cfm street avenger is acting up. I plan to rebuild it. But If I get another carb I may take my SA and mill the choke tower off and stuff like that.

I just can't decide what to do. I haven't had the greatest luck with this carb...something is always wrong or leaking,

i highly recommend the edelbrock for reliability it might now make the most power but is sure reliable gets pretty good gas mileage too go with a 600

Here we go again, opening the can of worms. I too second the vote for an edelbrock carb. With the proper tuning, you should not expect to see performance losses from another vac. secondary carb. You will more than likely see an increase in MPG and reliability.
