From the description all he really did was add nitro floats. They're $20 apiece and he played around with a dremel for 15 minutes. It hasn't had the bleeds resized or anything, and it hasn't been sealed.

It's a start, but don't pay too much for it over an untouched holley.

I feel exactly as you do on this subject ( go EFI ), but if a person cant, there is always the carb, if you are going to go blow through atleast do it right like he is by using the properfuel system and the proper carb. remember me Im the one that tells people to go FMU instead of custom chip, ECM, or super fueler. that is because 99% of the cars I see that is all they need whether they be turbed, blowed, or rootsed/eatoned.
