    I'm looking into getting a Holley Street Avenger Carb (570 CFM) for the 225 Dauntless and I was wondering if anyone else has been using one and what they think about it.
    Thanks.

    I run a Holley 390 Economaster, and it works flawlessly. IMHO 570 is way too much flow for the 225.

    I agree that 570 is too much for the 225 unless really built for racing. a Truck avenger 470 would be a much better carb or the Economaster 390 if you can find one. Nickmil

    That's the Quadrajet look-alike?

    yup. Looks like one of the early style quadrajets.
