Snowboat:
First off, thanks to Superdave for shutting down the river rats B.S. Don't go to the forums for that stuff, just to learn. I've got a couple of Holley 750 mechanicals that have the choke towers on them. They have worked fine, but I'm wondering if getting rid of the choke tower is worth the trouble. They are on a blown engine and the scoop faces the stern. Do you gain a couple of HP or make a significant difference? I can't answer that one but maybe Ty from TPC can answer it over in the Gear Heads section.
And yes SuperDave did what was best.
