Now, new question arises ,

I was going with edelbrock 750 cmf 1410 but I am really considering switching to Holley 750 cmf double pamper,

I need opinions , I already know that John (sprink58) loves these last ones and someone else also with a lot of experience in 383's told me that it will be tough to tune these engines with the edelbrocks

Holley carb with 750 cfm with annular booster's..they idomise the fuel better and will give you better throttle response..

Dont know anyone running an edelbrock on a boat.

I know there are many more but these are guys I've done work with and willingly send money to when it comes to carbs.

John and C&J engineering - guy has cleared up every problem I've ever had n/a or blown.

A.E.D- awesome shop.

Diego, I see that you tried to PM me. Feel free to shoot me an email. [email protected]

I switched from Edelbrocks to Holleys on my strokers and aside from having some float adjustment issues, I love the Holleys.

I'm not a carb guru nor do I ever want to be. When it comes to jetting and tunning I have to rely on my boating friends for help. Not a single one of them run Edelbrock carbs in a boat..........

Hey, thanks for your reply, after reading your thread i realized i had to go your route ,also John (sprik58) is a big fan of the Holley double p. so i went ahead and order a couple and returned the Edelbrocks.
Thanks again.

More news,

this is getting interesting, i have just talked to Laz from Mesa Balancing who gave me a way way way better deal than the previous guy on the Dyno services , so he personally will dyno and fine tune both engines with the Holley Double Pumpers. :thankyouthankyou:

I have to say...the only thing better is Direct Injection with a very good engine management system. It's like having 2: 2 barrel carburetors. You get on plane with both...once you are up...you back off and cruise on one (primaries). When you want to stretch out you bring in the second one (secondaries) :evilb:
