Hey Brent, aren't you glad I never changed my mind
Sounds like another exciting build.

Brent, how do you like that Holly Ultra HP carb vs a Quickfuel, I think the Holly looks better, but is it better, would you choose it for an FE build over the Quickfuel...?

At this level of carburetor, either one would work really well, and we can infinitely tweak on them. It comes down to budget (Holley is more expensive) and what you want it to look like.

I read on speedtalk, that even though they both can be 950 in size the Quick Fuel actually has a larger venturi size than the Holley?

The older 950s yes....this one is called a "true" 950.

I like the performance I know the Quick Fuel makes, but I love that anodized gray look of the Holley, cool build.

holley hp has some nice features, such as the larger fuel bowls with molded in dam around the perimeter to keep fuel slosh down.

note: the distance between the fuel inlets is longer than normal, might require special inlet unless you make it or have it on hand of course.
