If you have been using an AFB, you will notice one difference: The AVS is an air vacuum secondary, but contrary to what has been wrieen earlier, the AFB is not. The AFB responds to throttle opening, not vacuum. A proper running AFB (which you said your's is not) gives a faster charge than an AVS. Personally, I do not like the hesitation of the AVS or Thermocrap. I've rebuilt them all, and have installed an Edelbrock ona friend's car; I prefer the AFB.

Only the early AFBs like a `66 383 don`t have a air valve in the secondaries and they will always give you a lean stumble/bog when you floor them quickly. All eddy AFBs have the air valves right above the secondary throttle plates.
