Tom brings up a good point. But, with 93 octane E85, an aluminum turkey pan and keeping the levels in the bowls just a bit lower than the 60 year old "to the sight hole" rule, my Holley 3310 can handle 165 degree bowl temps with no problems. Now, my turkey pan is removable and when I pull it off and go for a ride you can definitely tell the difference. Give me an ol' fashioned carb any day of the week, but you've got to be prepared to learn how to tweak it just right. And a carb is never going to go heavily lean/rich on one cylinder and result in a seize up.
