Default Holley Street Avenger Carb, Experience?

I have lots of fun (read, problems) with my Carburetor this weekend. I have been skeptical of the refurbished 650CFM Holley on my '75 (with ZZZ crate) since I bought my Vette. I took the carb. off this afternoon and bought a 670CFM Holley Street Avenger. I am uncertainly whether I'll install it and keep it, but I'd appreciate any of your opinions on it before I make a decision.

Thanks for your help!

Good carb. I chose Demon ultimately, but while I was running a Street Avenger it worked great.

I'm currently running one on my 34 Ford (93 Camaro Engine) and have to say that I thought the engine ran smoother with a Road Demon I had on it. I am also not that found of the electric choke on this thing. I have tried adjusting from one extreme to the other. But, even after the engines only been off a couple of minutes and still hot, the electric choke still comes on and takes a few minutes again to idle down. It annoys me.

Might be something I am doing but I also heard this from others. The engine runs strong with it on, but the demon seems to have more all around response and idled better.
