Fastkid, I agree 100% with you.
No carb offers more power than the other. It has to do with personal preference.
My old mil ran the same numbers with PWKs as it did with Lectrons. I liked the Lectrons better because of their ease of tune and simplicity.
I borrowed them to others, they didn't like them as much (to be honest, I'm not sure who has them...lol)
Those Lectrons, also being honest, were given to me in literally like new condition.
Pay it forward type deal.
I would have never shelled out the $700 plus it would've cost me to buy them setup from Packard at that time like they were.
I'd have converted a set of snomo pumper PWKs like most around here do.
But once I got 'em, read up on them and experienced them, I loved them.
All adjustments from the top...no need to take off the float bowl, etc.
But I agree, world records are set with just about every kind of carb in what we do...it's 100% personal preference.
