What is a Brawler carburetor and why does Steve use one?

Brawler is owned by Holley, and Steve says basically any Holley part interchanges. His is a 4150 style, with both a primary and a secondary metering block so jets can go in the front and the back; the 4160 style has just a plate with orifices in back. He says that gives more tunability, they are cheaper than Holleys, and he has had good luck getting them to work pretty much out of the box. This one is brand new.
