That's a big call.

Holley's 1850 is the cheapest for that reason, entry level 1 four barrel.

Hardly a comparison really for those who have played with AFBs.
You can perform virtually ANY mod to an AFB without taking the carb off the car and not lose a drop of fuel.

Personally I don't look at anything Holley unless it resembles a QFT.
