Not a bad choice on the list. To me it would be a toss up between the Holley and the Quick Fuel. Barry Grant use to get a lot of bad comments about quality control. Maybe they are doing better in that regard since they came out of bankruptcy. I think Holley owns them now?

Pro systems is alright, but IDK, seems like you can do better on your own. From reading on here you still need to tune their carbs.

No dominator here. I'm running a Holley DP with a quick fuel base plate.

Buy a Braswell. By far the best carb I've ever used and I've tuned them all. From Rochester all the way to Chuck Nuytten dominator

Ive got abpro systems carb and honestly if I were to do it again id go with a quick fuel carb. Everything on them is adjustible. The pro systens carb ran ok right out of the box but it needed tinkering. And after doing some research online I think I could have gotten as close as they did pretty quickly. And now after drilling and tapping the ifr for some "jets" I made on the lathe I think I can get it right, but now its about winter and theres no sense tuning a engine for 30 degree air haha. But in the end its your money. If I were to do it again my 806 bucks could have went to a quickfuel and all the adjustment jets and air bleeds and ifr's I could have ever needed haha. If your a diy type person your better off gettin the quick fuel cuz you wont be able to stop messin with stuff on it untill every little hesitation, studder, and miss is tuned out haha.

quick fuel will have the most adjustment available on the carb. Even more than pro systems.....

I have never owned a Dominator, but I think Quickfuel is the best buy in 4150s.
