Default Holy crap i won
I entered the holleys 52 carbs in 52 weeks give away. Today I was notified that I won one of them!!

So its my choice of anyone except for the hp ultras.

At this point I have nothing to use it on so I want to make sure I get a good one.

I was looking at the new aluminum street avenger 770cfm, electric choke, vac secondary.

Anyone with good knowledge of which one I should choose?

I can't decide.
I'm either gonna go for the dominator 4500 series 1050 cfm or the aluminum street avenger 770 cfm electric choke.

Like I said I'm not gonna use it so if anyone has a special request and get a good buy just let me know.
thanks

i was told to look for the 830 cfm which I havent seen in awhile. Guessinthe end it would only give me 5, maybe 10 up top. Sounds like what I have is enough so Ill have to pass, maybe someone else can take you up on your offer.

650 DP with mech secondaries if they still make it IMO the most re-salable since its applicable to so many motors in common use.

Not at all! I'd be going backwards

I already use the Xram, 2" tb's, 90lb injectors and can easily tune with ebl/flash. So it makes no sense to go backwards for me.
My gains...if any would be minimal.

See if they will let you have one of their other products if you don't have a use for a carb. Maybe a Holley Superam? It's just money to them.
