That formula seems to work pretty well for my application. It gives a size of 850 and that's essentially what I have. But I agree you should speak with a carb guy and get him to optimize for you.

I hear very good things about ProSystems and AED. But several people swear by Braswell if you can afford the extra dough. Dave Braswell is apparently one of the top carb guys on the planet, so you may want to speak with him. Also, their carbs are not modified Holleys. They are 100% Braswell made and have some neat features and beautiful construction.
