carb sizing
i have a carbed 302 f303 cam edelbrock 289 performer intake and i was wondering i have a 600 holly w/ vacum secondaries and i was wondering if i put a holley 750 double pumper w/ mechanical secondaries would it be too much carb or would it make the car stronger this is my first performance carbed car so not really sure
thanks taylor

I think the 750 will be a little much.If its a street motor I'd go with a 570 street avenger.I've put one on a 351 and 302 worked nice.If not go with the 650 or 600.

750 is way to much for your combo.
I have a 650 mechanical secondaries on mine and it runs around 12.1:1 air fuel (don't know jet size) in a 10:1 compression motor and a .500 lift / 228 duration cam. I would think 600 CFM would be good for your application

I hate the Street Avenger carbs, Give me a 4150/4160 any day! The general public cant spell or tune a Holley let alone choose the correct size or type. The vac sec carbs are proven performers and provide the best balance for daily driven street/strip car, The Holley 1850(600 vac sec) is an excellent choice, What you give up with a larger CFM carb is bottom end Tq. You want a carb that will provide good throttle response(smallish primary) without being a restriction up at peak engine speed, The way to check carb size is to check engine vacuum below the throttle plates at full throttle(while making a pass) and if you show more than a few inches of vacuum at full thottle you need to step up.
