In all Honesty the Edlebrock, Harrop and Cosworth all seem to be very good packages.

In my opinion the nod goes to Cosworth because it has the biggest cooling system and thus intake temps are lower. Off the top of my head increase of ambient:

Cosworth +15C
Edlebrock +30C
Harrop +25C

Ignore the comments about the edlebrock/harrop offering significantly more power because they have a bigger blower - all three have a maximum boost of 1.4Bar and thus similar power outputs ~380hp

Finally the Cosworth calibration was developed on an engine test bench and extensive road and track testing. Im not aware of any other tuner that were able to do cylinder balancing in the calibration which requires cylinder pressure measurement while its running on the test bench.

So the nod goes for the calibration and large heat exchangers IMO.

Obviously one negative is the Cosworth is more expensive.
