I have this one and am VERY happy with it. 95% street use for me. You don't need a choke, we don't drive these cars in winter conditions anymore.

Street has a choke system , race doesn't most of these cars are never driven in cold weather so I do not bother with the choke

So I'm kind of set on getting another Holley. Planning to go with a 950 cfm carb - the guys on here had very convincing statements to go with a 950 (2 x CU IN = 954 cfm).  So looking at the Holley Classic HP and the Street HP.... Is the classic worth the $230 difference or are they close enough to were any performance difference would be nil?  Model 82951 (street hp $569) vs an 80496 (classic hp $799)?
