"Most engines don't need 5 emulsion bleeds and by far most guys and gals don't know what to do with them any way. Lower power valve channels may or may not improve performance or the fuel curve, in most cases it doesn't.

You can get 100% of the performance on 98% of the applications with a cast block"

90+% of the guys in the Street Section want to run their Q-jet Carb, their Tri-Power Carbs, or their AFB Carb(s). The few "Holley Guys" for the most part have read a lot of Hot Rod articles or have paid the $$$$ to someone like the Western Michigan Guy who builds Holleys. We have a guy in the Race Section who ran both the Western Michigan Guys carb and a Barry Grant carb (that the Racer owned) and was actually quicker with the BG carb. Bye Bye $$$$.

So Formulajones, you just wanted to learn but you did not want to learn from me.
I could have posted the same info as Tandyman but sometimes it is better if you stay out of the debate and let others prove the point for you. Back on Holley Carb Info another time.

And if you are selling a "DZ" Holley Carb to a Chebby Guy and say it is "all correct", and it has the high mount IFRs you are lying to him
as DZ carbs were never built with the High Mount IFRs. When you have all of the build sheets for the Performance Carbs, it really helps fixing the butcher jobs by the "carb experts".
