okay guys, i know most of you have had experiences with either one of these carbs so lay it on me, which 1 is better? Fuel economy is not an issue, so which 1 will unleash the poncho to its full potential.

I know, I know... a quadrajet will prob be better if tunned the right way but i want to keep my original carb original 2 pass smoge, this will be for my daily driven 77 Poncho.

Thanks guys, and info would be great

Either one will work fine. The Demon will look better.

Dave Bischop (SD Performance) built my engine and recommended either a Holley 950 HP (his 1st choice) or a Holley Street Avenger 870 (2nd choice) for my setup. Because my car is primarily driven on the street and it was less money, I went with the Street Avenger. Dave knows Pontiacs, so I figured I was safe following his recommendation.
