Scott--
Yes, it was the same single-plane Edelbrock in both cases. We got the timing, etc. correct before putting on the throttlebody for calibration. The engine builder explained that the Demon and the manifold must have been an ideal match for each other, and that sometimes this happens. Must say it kinda surprised me, however.
Everything I've heard indicates that with carbs vs. EFI, one generally produces a bit more bhp, and one makes more torque (can't remember which is which, tho). I wanted to do EFI for the excellent cold start, drivability, throttle response and minty-fresh exhaust (dates don't like to smell like unburnt hydrocarbons).
In any event, I'm generally happy with the numbers, and this guy has a good rep for being honest on the dyno. I am looking forward to getting the car on a chassis dyno when we're done!
