quick STB question and poll

Who else makes STB's for TPI motors besides Hotchkis, Global West, BMR, Kenny Brown, and Edelbrock?

And (quick poll) 2pt. or 3 pt.? I've read all of the arguements for and against both, so I wanted to see what the general concensus is.

Thanks for the opinions.

All I can speak of is my experience w/ my 3 pt. Edelbrock STB. After putting it on, my car was sooooo much better at taking corners. The front end just felt much more solid and responsive.

3 point!! The only argument I've seem for a 2 point is that some classes of racing don't allow 3 point STBs.

BuckeyeROC, does the edelbrock you have have some sort of 'quick release' type of feature like the hotchkis does? I'm thinking about the edelbrock since it's 3 point, but if it gets in the way and isn't easily removed I think I'm going to go with the hotchkis.

I don't know about the "quick release" feature, but all you have to do is take out 4 bolts that are very easy to get at, it only takes a couple mins.

go 3 pt all the way, i have the edelbrock 3pt on my 86 SC, and the BMR 3pt on my 91, if i were to make the choice again, id go with the BMR for both. very nice quality, and very reasonable price.
Also there is a nite n day diffrence after you install it.
