Holley or Webber?
I've got a holley 465 with RB intake on a 12a bridgeport.
Its been jetted and if hovering around 4000rpm, if I pin it, I get plenty of torque right threw to what ever i take it to. (normally about 6500rpm)
I've heard that the holley is more fuel efficient because of the way the secondaries work or sometin? And a webber is much more of a guzlar. 240fwhp is what it dyno'd at with the current setup. Is a webber really any better?

...Yes. The same company that makes "D'llorto" and "Mikkuni".

Do the RB Holley 650 setup. Easy & Great Performance for StreetPort,BridgePort,and other mods to include the RB Exaust System. Oil Mods, RB Clutch System and more+more. Too much More!!!
I just got my motor back from Pinnaple Racing in Portland, OR and they did a Kick *** Job.
Rob Golden and his Team really know there ****.
You can alway's get add'l parts and mods for the Holley. The others take a little work to find.
RB Holley Setup all the way.
Just My Input. And I'm sure every other RotorHead has there own preference.
Have Fun!!!

Airflow is my life
Not when were talkin BP. Look at what RB sells for a BP. Its a 600, and theres a reason. You decent milage is cause your ports are choked off with a small carb. The overlap will cause the brap. Could be half or full BP.

I ran the Holley 600 DP on my Streetport...ran OK...added the Weber powerplate...ran better....got a 48 IDA....WAAAAYYY better. Smoother off idle...crisp responce ( my holley bogged like a bastard), revs a bit faster, doesn't stumble out of ANY turns...Holleys run like **** when you drive hard and fast and try to turn (especially left!) and doesn't eat too much gas if you learn how to drive it. A MUCH BETTER CARB

^center hung floats, a different accelerator pump cam, and maybe a different set of jets would have solved your holley problems.
Once you learn how to tune a holley properly they are great. Webers are easier though. I ran a holley 600 dp on my TII and mad great power. I am almost duplicating that setup on my '80.
