Holleys are are junk. They leak fuel and are a bear to tune. Stick with EDL for street use.
Not if you put them togeather right. Edelbrock carb's are good for street use and seem to be easier to tune though.

If you get a Demon take it apart and clean it out BEFORE you put it on. They have been having issues with metal chips/shavings in the fuel bowls.

if this is a low hp car then a daul plane intake is what you want for the low - midrange torque...look at the PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS INTAKE....
www.professionalproducts.com

as for the holley the new gaskets have pretty much got rid of any leaks and they give you more tuning possibitites then a elebrock which is based on a GM quadujet
