Before BG came out with the Demon line, they were a built from a heavily modified Holley. Holley forced them to change the design and the Demon line was born. There must be a reason all these people custom modify Holley carbs and not AFB carbs like the Edelbrock.

If you want a simple bolt-on street carb, go with the Edelbrock. If you want a tunable performance carb, go with a Holley style.

Holley is the largest name in carbs. It's all you'll see in many forms of racing, especially NASCAR.

I am selling my Speed Demon 750 With it's dual feed line and I went with a Pro Systems 4150 Holley

Let me know if you're interested.

Which is the best depends on what your useing your car for.
Edelbrocks are a good performance daily driver carb.Holleys will help your motor produce more power but are a more thursty carb.
For the street I'd recommend a Edelbrock but for strip or street/strip and you don't mind the decrease in gas mileage I'd go with a Holley.
The Deamon is just a Holley with more features and bling bling appeal.
If I had a choich I'd buy a Holley HP but my cars not a daily driver either.
Another route you can take is find a Holley that needs a rebuild and go with Proforms billet baseplate and metering blocks and there main body. Put it all together with a Barry Grant rebuild kit.Holley's needing rebuilt can be found cheep on e-bay.
Also there the simplest carb to rebuild.
