RE: My engine build so far

I have heard good things about edelbrock carbs but to be honest I dont know a damn thing about 'em. I can build and tune a holley pretty good so am going to try and stick with what I know. I was under the impression that the streetmaster intake could be made into a excellent intake. Hell I hope so as I spent quite a few hours cutting out the intake runners where they meet the heads from the 1.750" height to 2.340" to match my heads. I also carved a bit from the plenum and added a brodrix turtle on the plenum floor to help out and got a 1" spacer for the carb. I did some measuring and the intake runners are about 2.250" up until the end where they meet the heads which was a really big restriction. I had to actually weld aluminum to the gasket flanges and machine them flat to make the gaskets sealing surface wide enough after cutting them 2.340". Besides a old design what other drawbacks are there to the streetmaster? I may do some checking on the performer rpm as that was the original plan but opted for the streetmaster after hearing a few stories. Thanks for the info!
