Depends, in Baseball, Hockey, Football.....  I'd say you'd know who won... ;-)

Pehaps....
I wasn't real sure what YOU wanted so I didn't chime in.   In my case I'm more
concerned about driveablity than Brute Force.  So "vacuum secondary" was the
choice for me.  The "go" is still there when I want it (perhaps slightly
diminished comparatively) but I'm not killing my gas mileage or over fueling in
daily driving.
I can still EAT the baseball-cap-on-backwards-mustang-5.0-kids when they annoy
me.

>From my Mopar Hemi days.... if you want all out acceleration and don't care
about demeanor in city traffic or gas mileage, by all means, go for the
mechanicals.

For another feud.......
All the discussion seems to center around the Holley's.   I now own my first
Edelbrock.  Couldn't be more pleased.  No power valve to blow and it just looks
nicer on a polished manifold!!!

(ps.... el gato will be injected before long, so I should be quiet....)
