Anyone try the Edelbrock VRS-4250 Carb yet?

A QFT 850 is is over $1100, all carbs are expensive anymore
Agree. The new stuff seems to be over bled so you'd need to see what calibration Edelbrock put in their carbs.

Far easier to find an early list Holley for cheap and get it rebuilt by a reputable carb builder. At least the early Holley's were make correctly and have the correctly sized internal passages and calibrations to suit.
