I agree with mreid. The mechanical secondaries with a light stick car and good power is always better. The rpm's rise quicker and the car action is very responsive up and down the rpm range. I went from a VS to MS in my 500hp SBF and the difference was very noticable. I like the control I have. The VS no doubt was smooth as silk but it was not as fast and responsive under my foot. This is my experience anyway. Maybe that is why detroit used them from the showroom floor.
If I'm not mistaken (sorry to bring this up on this forum but...) the L-88 vette came with a Mechanical Sec. 850 Holley. This was not for the average joe driver.
