I use the Demon carb from Barry Grant (smallest) and I do not know why I tuned,tuned, cussed for 20 years using Holley and no one at Holley will return your phone or email message for at least a week if then. Carb comes set up complete so you do not have spend another 200 bucks ie center pivot bowls for cornering. Just my two cents everybody has different ideas.
