Thunder series worth it?
I'm going to buy a new carb for my pickup. The engine is out of a 71 and only has headers on it for now. I drive the **** out of my pickup and go wheelin in it now and then. I want good preformance off idle up to a max of 5000 rpm's. I have been looking into the Edelbrock Thunder series 650 cfm carb. Is it worth the extra money to get the Thunder series over the base line performer series?

Geeeez.... I wish I could be a firm believer in the old AFB style carbs..but I cant..You do know that Barry Grants Demon carbs make an off road carb that works on multi angles for off road.. Just a thought to check into... JMO...
