TQ is going to give you way better mileage around town.

Throttle response will depend on a lot of factors. A DP can mask a lot of problems by just literally dumping fuel on it.

Performance and driveability can be great with a TQ, but they are a bit of a pain to tune. Bend this, straighten that. They were designed to be somewhat tamper resistant, so you can't just turn a screw here or there. Definitely need to do your homework.

I've always considered myself to be a Holley guy, but I'm currently working through my first TQ tuning experience and learning as I go.
