Too bad there's no version for the 3310 vacuum secondary style carbs listed.

That would be nice! Watch it be a repackaged Proform for 25$ more............that would be SAD!

NO KIDDING! Wonder how much money Proform made along with selling to the new breed of low cost race carb builders like Quick fuel, Pro System....etc.

Having American products made overseas seems to be the hot money maker these days!

I hope the quality is as good as the Proform piece. I went through four sets of dominator bowls before I finally got a good set. Summit went through their whole stock of them looking for a good set and couldn't find any after I returned two sets. They had Holley send me another set, they were junk as well. Turns out their stock was bad too. Some weren't machined, some were threaded wrong, one set was missing parts, etc. Pretty sad. The worst part was when I called Holley after the first set, they didn't give a crap. Made in the USA won't mean very much anymore at this rate.

so, Holley is now selling the main bodies from their "HP" lineup as and "upgrade" for other carbs?
i think you could always get them, just that they weren't listed in the catalogs until Proform proved the market is there.

They could have at least come up with a different product description...

From Proform:

"Gain 25 to 50 horses from a simple carb upgrade.
Want to upgrade your street carburetor to a high performance race carb but don't have the means to do a complete carb swap? If you can turn a screwdriver, you can get 25 to 50 HP from these Proform main bodies. With no air horn, choke tower, or choke control to restrict airflow, they deliver extra power easily and affordably. "

From Holley:

"Gain 25 to 50 horses from a simple carb upgrade.
Want to upgrade your street carburetor to a high-performance race carb, but don't have the means to do a complete carb swap? If you can turn a screwdriver, you can get 25 to 50 hp from these Holley carburetor main bodies. With no air horn, choke tower, or choke control to restrict airflow, they deliver extra power easily and affordably. These main bodies are available in a standard dichromate or shiny finish. "

It hard to control what Summit puts on their website.

This is definitely not a repackaged Proform piece.

for a long time Holley had the main body(HP) but it came with out boosters installed...If you dont have the right tool...installing boosters is impossible.

I toured the Holley plant a few months ago and saw these bodies being machined in Bowling Green. Look pretty darn nice to me!

it probably IS the HP main body, just repackaged and marketed as a "replacement" part.
