A Holley-Edelbrock debate

I can attest to that with a 650 AVS2 on a street dominator with headers. I never did get the secondary side richened up to where it needed to be before I decided to go with a spread bore double pumper. The primary side responded well to one size up on jetting and then next smaller size metering rod, which is more than a little increase.

Was the holley an older TQ or QJ replacement carb ?
