Cool carb choices

So....the age old question....Holley(or equivalent) vs edelbrock carbs. here is what I have. 440/727 in a 4wd pickup. its a healthy motor. put 320hp and 420ft/lbs on a dyno with 37" tires on it. currently have a 750 dbl pumper on an edelbrock torker 2 intake. mind you this truck is mainly street driven, playing in mud fields and sometimes competition bogs in the area. engine is about 4 years old now and I have a heavy right foot so the engine is well broke in. I started playing with the carb jets, power valves, accel pump cams seeing if I could get more noticeable throttle response...and in fact I'm sure I went wrong somewhere. I just did so much at once i don't know what or what combo it should be at. So I'm trying to decide if i should just get a new carb or play with this one more. carb choices are affordable edelbrock, holley because i now have 2 kids and when i built the motor had 0. lol kinda kicking the idea of changing to a performer rpm intake and a new carb but looking for ideas. seeings the motor never sees over 6000rpm the torker wasn't the best intake choice to start with. but looking for advice and ideas. thanks!

In my opinion, keep the 750 dp and go with a performer rpm manifold. That manifold is much better suited to your set up as a 4wd off road type truck. You'll get much better bottom end with that manifold. From there, tune the carb. The 750 dp is a great carb and I don't think you'll gain anything by switching to an Edelbrock carb. Every 440 I've had has always like bigger carbs and made noticeable gains in the 1/4 mile and mph. Granted yours is a different application but 440's love their gas!
