So I am rebuilding the top end of my engine and putting on some performance parts but I keep getting told when the subject of the carb comes up and I say edelbrock 750 cfm it seems like everybody discourages me away from it,,, I have been told to get a little more HP I should go with QFT, Holley or Demon I would loves some feed back on what the most popular carb that work best for everybody here that reads this post!!!!!

Thanks

Matt

it would be my last pick.the QF would be hard to beat,IMO.

X2 on the QFT, I've ran them for years with great results! I've seen nothing but trouble out of the Edelbrock carbs..

I agree. Stay w/Holley based carbs.The Edelbrock would be My last pic too. They were popular w/car show crowd for awhile because they were SHINY.

Eddy Carbs are OK for daily driver, where you not looking for extreme tuneabiliy and output. I've ran a number of them over the years on street rides, they are very forgiving and work fine.

The eddy i have has stood up for years as a daily driver no problems

This truck is one I will be taking to the track...

From what I've seen the E-brock carbs are ok for street duty/car shows, but they don't flow enough for high performance applications.

I'm with Freeloader here, the Eddy's are fine for a street deal and are very forgiving for the novice carb guy. I used several of them on different trucks and they always worked and on a couple of grain hauling trucks they were really nice, because you didn't have to rebuild them every fall before harvest. They are not a performance carb though, so weigh it up for what you are after.
