This is something I've seen dozens of times over the years (and I'm old!). Someone has a problem with a carb, they want to junk it and buy another brand.
I don't see any need for carb wars, as any brand will run correctly for a long time if setup right (assuming your not running a knockoff of the original brand, in which case, all bets are off).
exactly, my friends point....get they one your or your friend is most familiar with = easy to work on! lol
my friend used to race, maybe thats why he likes and is familiar with Holleys....
and I `m getting the same gas mileage as my friends running QJets!
one thing to remember though is that a bigger carb doesnt necessarily get you better power...a carb can be too big....spitting out the gas thru exhaust or mix in the oil...my 400 likes a Holley 650...
my 302 I had in my "Sebring" (Austin Healey fiber glass replica) came with a Holley 650 from prev owner....engine had gas in the oil, carb was waaay to big for that car/engine combo...it got 12-13 mpg....I bought a smaller Holley for it(I forget the size), and car was quicker, got 19 mpg and no gas in the oil! then we put that used 650 on my sons 350 Chevy in his TP21! perfect for it.
