Too small really is a relative term. My circle track engine makes 463hp on 500cfm of carb. Is it restricted? Hell yes and it can make more with a larger 4bbl on it.
Personally, you'll never find a carter carb (eddy carb) on one of my engines. I've run them and they were ok.. Never ran or performed like a well prepped Holley.
Agree. Get a 650dp, holley/quick fuel with replaceable air bleeds, pvcr, ifr, and emulsion bleeds. If you tune it correctly the throttle response will put you in your seat.
Thanks guys gives me more to think about. Im a bit of a carb rookie so this helps. My understanding is that Eddy was a little better for street consistency and Holley better for strip / power while also being a little temperamental to get adjusted (generally speaking). That had me leaning more towards another Eddy, but having a wide band might make getting the Holley down easier.
Like I said this will be a 95% street car, taking it to work involves either heavy LA traffic or long periods at highway speed on my 60 mile round trip commute.
I will research some QF/ Holley carbs based on your recommendations, thanks!
