i think a holley 670 would suit u just fine

but a 700 would also work

I CALLED EDELBROCK TECH LINE TODAY i TALKED WITH ONE OF THE TECH GUYS HE TOLD ME THE PERFORMER INTAKE WAS LOSING POWER HE SAID I SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST A PERFORMER RPM OR IF I DONT MIND LOSING A LITTLE BOTTOM END TQ GO WITH A VICTOR. HE RECOMENDED A THUNDER SERIES CARB IN 800CFM?? DOES THIS SOUND RIGHT?? HE SAID WITH THAT COMBO AND MY CAM I SHOULD BE IN THE 430-440 HP RANGE?? DOES THAT SOUND RIGHT OR IS THIS GUY JUST OVER RATING HIS PARTS?? :roll:

AED 650 Holley

You will be very happy with the performance.

This is what i would use for you application.

thanks for the info cncmotorsports I actually just got a 750 dp for cheap! would anyone go ahead and try this carb or should I sell it and get the 650dp?? Can I jet this 750 to work good for my combo?

Smaller is always better. You have higher velocity and the carb is working in it's "center range".
I remember being young trying to imporss everone by having huge carbs on the street. I ended up using both feet to keep it running!! Anyone else learned the hard way??

Re: i went from 750 to 650 also

I'm thinking the 750 wasn't right.
Thats a pretty healthy sounding motor and they usually love more air and fuel.

I ran this combo with a 600 edelbrock carb and have been thinking of switching to a holley. I feel that the quadrajunk style carb is holding it back?? Any and all info is appreciated! THANKS WHITEY.

I'd say yes, that 600cfm hunkajunk performer has to be holding you back,they make great boat anchors though.

I put a mild pump gas 351W in the boys 89 GT mustang, similar set- up as yours, performer heads and intake, 500 something lift hydralic cam, shorty headers, flows, 373's, msd 6al box.
We're runnnig a 750 double pumper W/ 30cc acellerator pumps front and rear, 78 square on the jetting (no power valve) and a pro-form center section.

Best ET so far - 7.50 in a tad short 1/8 >
not bad for a ford I thought.

Goodluck, Cp

ive got a simular motor but only 8.5 compressionported and polished heads edelbrock performer intake 1inch spacer and accel cap rotor wires (motor was a dirt track imca sport mod motor) has 600 holley but for some reason i dont seem to make any real torque its in a 77 monte carlo with th350 and 2000 b&m torque master converter any ideas dont have headers yet

Whats your timing set at?

If it was a dirt car motor, chances are the cam is a high winding piece, you might need to swap it out for a cam more suitable to your needs.
Also what rear gearing do you have?

gears stock cam real ruff idle 32 degrees i know it has torque and power dog off line but will haul ass
