[DeTomaso] Edelbrock carbs

[Dave Londry]

I have a Performer 1406 (600 cfm)  and  Thunder 1813 (800cfm) and I have 
to do emissions testing.
So I have a lot of experience running them with an A/F meter and an 
accelerometer.

I thought I was maybe over-carbureted with 800 cfm on a 377,
  but even at idle it's as easy to tune as the little one and I like the 
old Carter  better.
In either case you have to buy a tuning kit and get used to the idea of 
metering rods.
These are both electric choke carbs and I'd caution you that the 
Performer 800 on your link is a manual.

I had my Holley carb tuned just right when I left home, but when I got stuck in traffic for a few minutes it started running rich, then on the way home was surging. I had one of these Edelbrocks http://www.jegs.com/i/Edelbrock/350/1412/10002/-1 on a SBC that was perfect out of the box. I tempted to scrap the Holly DP and go with this. Any opinions out there?
