Holley vs Edelbrock

I mentioned before that the TPI gremlins had struck me again and I'm getting tired of trying to figure out whats wrong so I've about decided to simplify things and go back to a carb. I've used the Edelbrock Performer before and liked it pretty well but I've come across a freshly rebuilt Holley 600 for a good price that I'm comsidering purchasing.
Anyone have any preferances between the two?

Re: Holley vs Edelbrock

depends what you want. if you go with the holly you have to mess with the dam thing every other week if you go with a edelbrock you can set it up in 10 minutes and be done with it.

Re: Holley vs Edelbrock
