So in essence what you're saying is, if you want your car to run terrible, and unpredictably, idle badly, get poor fuel mileage, but go really fast at one throttle position, (WOT), you buy a holley?
I'd kind of tend to agree, only thing is most E carbs clones don't come close to real Carter AFBs performance. Most street cars (this is the street section) need to operate well at all speeds. And my race cars have all used reworked Q Jets, so you can go fast with them also. Other than that I agree 100%..........
The statement is akin this one, "If you want a Pontiac to run, put a chevy in it". Never bought into that one either......
