Holleys are easy to rebuild. The great thing about them is that they are modular. You can tune them almost any way you want.

I would try nozzles in .250, .300, and .350. you might also want an assortment of accelerator pump cams that alter the rate of pump action.

A good Holley book will allow you, after careful study, to do all this stuff yourself. Swapping jets, both primary and secondary, along with power valves and (secondary springs when applicable) can get you into a more or less ideal carb tune.

It does take a lot of effort and some spark plug reading or the use of an air/fuel measuring device. You can do this for much less than the $250 you mentioned though.
