How was the NV3550 swap, I'm still running the old 3 speed on this motor and it feels that I need another speed or 2.

69 uncut stock bronco, built 302, trick flow, kind of a sleeper. Can't keep the wheels on the ground.
07 FJ crusier, nice ride!, the family car

The 3550 swap went well, there are a few tricks that will speed installation that the instructions don't cover. No comparison to a 3 speed. Well worth the effort.

If you pulled the Holley out of the box and made it work with very few changes, then that is great. You just happened on the right combination between your engine combo and carb. I had a co worker that bought a Truck Avenger for his Bronco (with a 351) and he spent lots of time trying to get it dialed in for the street. But the first time we went four wheeling, he realized that he had more work to do on it.

I was planning to buy a Holley Street Avenger carburetor, but then I acquired a Holley Truck Avenger in a trade. Besides the obvious off-road capabilities, is there any difference between the Holley Street Avenger and the Holley Truck Avenger? I mean, are they two totally DIFFERENT carburetors, or is the Truck Avenger basically a Street Avenger with extra off-road features? If I were to run a Street Avenger, and then run a Truck Avenger in the same size, would I notice a difference in performance on the STREET? Can the Truck Avenger run as good on the street as the Street Avenger?
