I like the Edelbrock carbs as well. I think Dan Jones has some kind of metering chart for tuning...
I think a custom Holley will be fine, too. Someone recommended a Quickfuel Holley-style carb to me due to the adjustable idle air circuit. Kirk Evans' advice to me was to dyno tune (on the engine) whatever I decide to get, saying that it is well worth it.
