Carburetor for road course track days...
I am building a TA carb'd for track days. I have been reading and searching, didn't see much on the subject. I am not asking about the carb size. but if a certain carb would be better for the application. My experience is with Holley's the fuel bowls are front and back on the engine. Are the edelbrocks side to side?
Just wondering if one is more apt for the left to right turning.
Thanks in advance.

Probably the Edelbrock. It's similar to the Q-jet with the single float bowl sorta in the front.

Id get a holley.
They are easy to tune and the fuel bowls position will not be an issue on a road course.
