Default Double pumper?

Just bought a new car (GT40 replica) with a modded 302, (forged pistons, hot, roller cam, roller rockers, Dart heads, offenhauser manifold etc)
It's fitted with a Holley 650cfm double pumper carb. What's this like for road use? should I get a carb with vac secs for economy?
someone has worried me with tales of "washdown" of the cylinder walls causing problems (I'd never even heard of washdown and am still not sure what it means)
Thanks guys.

Simon
