After going Bankrupt 3 times Holley Carburetor is not the same company that made the excellent 650 and 800 spread bore carbs of the old days.

Their EFI stuff is doing well because NASCAR is using some of their stuff on the cars.
And the EFI stuff is pretty darn good for a moderate cost EFI system.
MOTEC and the other high end stuff being better in my opinion but only for cubic money type vehicles (think land speed record platforms).

That being said there is little that is the same on the calibrations.
The old calibrations for the majority of the "Chevy bolt on carbs" was paid for by GM Engineering paying Holley to do the
calibration work.

Most of the casting work has been farmed out to the offshore countries C*ina
