edlebrock Vs Holley truck avenger

[Patf10]

Well as my build continues im looking for a carburator. Im stuck between the edelbrock thunder series AVS offroad and the truck avenger. Its a 360 in a CJ5. I currently have a edelbrock 500cfm on my 258 so i have the tuning rods and everything for an edelbrock but which performs best? Im looking at a 650cfm edelbrock and 670holley.

Thanks
Pat

Shoot Pat save your bucks and get a offroad needle and seat set for your carb.

I read an off road test somewhere on the web about carbs, for Jeepin' the Quadrajet won hands down. Steady Idle, no floading at extreme angles, not loading up, and creaped along at low speeds consistantly.

I used to run a 670 CFM Truck Avenger on a 360. It ran great off road but didn't like to hold a tune. A couple people I wheeled with ran Quadrajets and they ran great.

I have no experience with the Edelbrock "off road" carburetor.

I wouldn't bother putting the spring loaded needle and seats in the regular Edelbrock Performer carb. That carburetor doesn't do well off road no matter what you do with it.

I have both. I prefer the Edelbrock. Easier to tune and stays tuned pretty well. I have the off-road springs and have never had a problem with my CJ on some pretty steep inclines.

I ran a truck Avenger for a short time on a 360 CJ with mild cam, stock exhaust, and a performer intake and it ran way too rich out of the box. I switched to a street avenger for the type of driving it sees and it's 1000% better.

Well I have built many Quadrabogs.. for 1/4 mile use.. and a few off road.. they are a great carb..with a few mods (such as capping the metering well..but I have and run a 600 cfm 1406 edelbrock on a 360 in a j-10 and another on a 304 in a cj-5.. the off road needle and seats.. and I couldn't be happier, they perform well at most angles and the throttle response is very crisp.. once ya tune em forget em.. plus the new model has an adjustable secondary setup so you can dial it in without springs.. pretty sweet.. (besides with the one piece body it won't leak)..

i,ve heard horror stories of guys trying to dial in a quadrajet. Once you try to rebuild them they never seem to be the same is what ive been told. I run a 600cfm holley on my 304 and am very happy with it. i used the offroad needles and have yet to have any problems.

so currently i have a 500 edelbrock, if i re tune and jet it would it run a 360 or would i be better off getting a 600 and putting my offroad needle's and seats in there
