Fast;

again just .02 cents worth.......

My old 600 DP is the plain Jane variety and it works great, I have a 650 DP Demon Race carb on my race car (331cu. in. right at 500hp) and I have tried it on my 351-W "street' engine and didn't really find enough difference to justify the extra $$$$..


I would also suggest the 650 DP over the 600 DP, not that much difference in performance and price, but gives you a little extra "wiggle room" for future upgrades, again JMHO.......

If money is not a problem, go with the HP "race series" carb, otherwise on a light car with your engine the "Classic DP" for almost half the price will suit your needs just fine....
The other $300.00 bucks or so could be used for a cam upgrade later or other "bolt-on" upgrades..........

If it were my call, I'd go with the Classic 650 DP Holley and put the additional money to other upgrades and/or your exhaust system.

Also on my old 600 DP, I spent about all of 20 minutes with a hack saw and hand file and cut off the choke horn myself, don't know if you gain much, but it looks cool and costs me nothing but a little time........
