I am trying to decide which carb to put on my '68.
Driveline is this: 302, mild cam, full length headers, stock heads, Edlebrock RPM manifold, 2.5" exhaust, C4 with shift kit. and 3:00-1 rear end. ( I think, havent had time to check yet)
I like the Edlebrock but want more performance, Holley is what I think I need, but for about $60 more I can get Road demon, which everyone says "when tuned is hard to beat"
So my question is: What does it take to tune it? Parts? tools? What do I need to tune one and how do I do it?
TIA

New Demon carbs come with a video which explains how to tune them.

Yes I realise that it comes with a video but I am not going to buy it to see how to tune it, I would like to know what is involved before I purchase it.

The tuning as demonstrated on the video is straightforward and simple. What you need to know is that if you want to run a road demon of a mild 302 you will need to get and install smaller jets than what come with the carb out of the box. I found that the factory installed jets were too big for even my mild 351C and went down about 4 sizes. I can't remember right now what the jet size is. My car runs great now and doesn't have that heavy, rich exhaust smell.

For the setup you have, the differences between Edelbrock and Holley won't be noticed. For a steet engine, IMHO an E-brock will do you fine. It works for me anyway.
