The Edelbrock Thunder Series (500, 650 and 800 CFM) are similar to the Performer series, but with a few variations such as an adjustable opening rate secondary. The 500 CFM model can be used for small to medium displacement small blocks. Used in a dual four configuration the 500 cfm carbs are good for medium to medium large displacement engines as well as mild supercharged engines. The big carbs are suited to applications calling for their size, obviously.

Edelbrock also makes the only carburetor that is designed for Lowriders; designed for extreme angles such as the popular "3 Wheel motion", it keeps the fuel in the float bowl there constantly so you don't have "pedal lag" when driving at severe angles. See Edelbrock.com for more information.
