Holleys offer a lot more adjustability thana Q-jet or edelbrock, but are not for the impatient.

I absolutely despise the 6AL box - had 2 and they both crapped out as did probably 8 of my friends, this was a while ago and hopefully the issues were fixed.

If you want to run 12.0 with your car, it is going to need a power to weight ratio of 8.5 or better to run the 115mph typical of such a run. In a 3500lb car, that is 411hp, in a 3250lb one, 382hp, in a 3000lb one, 353hp. I had run 12.5 at 113mph with the transplanted 350 in my 3500lb third gen, making about 400hp with a 700R4, peak power about 5500rpm. 450hp would push the car easily into the 11's with traction.
