its cheaper, there was a guy here using it to just run 10's and 11's for fun. and them alkie carbs sure are weird. 4 floats and needle and seats ! motor cooling is never an issue, go touch the hat of a blown car after a pass cold as ice and has a nice layer of frost on top of it. 1st time i ever saw that i was completely blown away. most guys use stainless braided line. the guy who runs 10's with it had a holley blue but it never worked for him, so he switched to a cam driven enderle/hillborn style pump.
