well Chris - i've been talking with Derek (aka Derk2000) and those sound clips are NOT with the edelbrock - he has a totally different setup
doh!
anyhoo... OhSigma - i believe the rasp that most folks hear is due to the rear crush-y-pipe, some have said that if you get that fixed almost all of the rasp is gone... probably due to some type of air flow physics. (sortof like why the KKM whistles in the intake chamber)
hopefully someone can post some sounds from an edelbrock soon
