I know this question is a pretty common. What carb size would work best on my car?
351W .030
AFR 185's
Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap
Edelbrock RPM cam
.496 int.-.520 exh.
224-234 duration at 050
eventually 3.55 gears
C4 2500 stall
Car will be street/strip
mostly warm weather (doesn't get cold much here)
Thanks for any help

I live in north east Texas. Not sure about the altitude, but it is pretty humid sometimes.
I was thinking of going with the Holley 700 mechanical secondary Double pumper.
Thanks

Ryan, my setup is real close to yours. I used a 600vs for 6mo's on my 351w. It did have great low end power. Then I put a 700dp on it. I've almost got it dailed in now. Last test drive it was amazing the difference.
I'd go with either the 750vs for mostly street cruiser or the 700dp for alittle more.
