There is no way you will get a good answer from anyone on this, everybody is biased. My choice would be a double pumper holley, most people will probably say weber though.

A-men, sometimes you can use any carb just depending on what type of cheese you have in the passenger seat.

Holley would be the most common and easy carb to use I think. Easy to tune. Easy to find parts for. I find webbers are outragously expensive.

Like Robert said, it is all about who boost preps the carb. Also tuning will play a major role. Seems like 90% of people on this forum with blowthrough carbs are running webers. I choose holleys for a couple reasons. Cost is a major concern, and i can build a blowthrough holley easily for less than 150 dollars parts + modification. I have also been tuning Holley's since i was 14, so I have a lot of experience there. It all really comes down to which carb you are most comfortable with.
