The 39mm FCR is a better carb if you ask me as well, but the Edelbrock is still a great carb from what I hear. I just dont know about the whole $600 price tag to get it mounted up. Never used an edelbrock, but I know my FCR made a significant difference in power on my bike.

i also say the 39FCR is a better carb. the edlebrock is still good but i think alot of the negine builders like the FCR better for most cases.

I can not see 600 bucks being woth it, let's face it by the time you bore the quad to need the better card you need to upgrade the suspension etc. by that time your looking at a ton of money and right now you have better options. Sell the quad and move up to a 450 and in the end your much better off, at least that's my take.
