Right Carb for my 340

Thanks a bunch. I see most of you agree the cam is the problem. I took a look at Hughes and found a sweet cam that give the sound of a big lumpy cam but not the draw backs of a big cam, like fuel comsumption.

will this cam and a smaller carb (600 cfm) give me a more steet friendly car?
What do you all think of the eddy heads with this cam? Will it kill the torque?

What do you all think?

The Hughes musclecar cams are designed w/ less total lift and a less agressive ramp rate than their traditional line- but still specifically designed for our small blocks and give the rumpity rump sound and great low end torque. Still a WAY better choice than the old 292 shaft. Eddy heads should compliment nicely, but I would go with a 650cfm range carb...600 may be a little too small. It would probably work and be tame on the street but a little small.650 Demon would be my choice.

I'm running the same cam and I would love to switch to one of those cams. I think you cant go wrong. Great sound/performance and street manners.
