From Street applications to racing to marine, Edelbrock has been another top favorite among hot rodders. They manufacture top quality carburetors, and like Holley, have different models for different applications. | From Street applications to racing to marine, Edelbrock has been another top favorite among hot rodders.

| − | Edelbrock Performer Series Carburetors (500, 600, 750, & 800 CFM) - These 4 BBL carburetors offer a range of versitality for all engines. The smaller 500 and 600 CFM models would be good on engines such as a 305, 327 or 350. Like the Holley's, they are good for mild builds/daily driver. Unlike the Holleys, they have vacuum secondaries, so theres a mid-way between performance and economy.

| − | Edelbrock Thunder Series (500, 650 and 800 CFM) - Similiar to the Performer series, but with a few variations. The 500 CFM model is designed for dual-carb setups, and cannot be used as a single. Good for medium build small blocks and some big blocks, such as the 396. | + | Edelbrock Thunder Series (500, 650 and 800 CFM) - Similiar to the Performer series, but with a few variations.

Edelbrock also makes the only carburetor that is designed for Lowriders; designed for extreme angles such as the popular "3 Wheel motion", it keeps the fuel in the float bowl there constantly so you dont have "pedal lag" when driving on these angles.
