Default Carb advice needed !!

I have an Edelbrock performer 750 on my 454 and it just doesnt perform well. I would like to try changing to a better carb but am confused on Holleys vrs. BG carbs. My setup is as follows:
454 / 465HP
480 ft/lb torque,
comp cams 268H mild cam
rectangular port heads
GM Alum. Duel plane intake
MSD 6AL
MSD Tach drive dist.
Hooker super comp headers into 2.5" exhaust
4 speed M21 tranny
3:36 gears.

Thanks in advance
:hurray:

Have almost identical set up, but small port heads, and using a 850 double pumper holley, works great.
always buy new carbs is my motto, have used pleanty over the years but NEVER had trouble with new ones.
hope that helps.

One more thing. I use the car primarily as a daily driver.
