Default Edelbrock, huh?

Don and DV - since you've got dyno time with Holleys and Edelbrocks, I'm guessing you like the overall curve better with the Edelbrocks.

Also, knowing that dyno runs are highly susceptible to environmental elements and other factors, could you guess (or tell us what you've seen similar motors do) as to what Jack's and/or mine would pull on the dyno (I'm guessing with the 700cfm carb) or if they might merit the 800? I'm betting you've built similar motors.

Finally (if you've read this far!), in your opinion, how close do the dyno simulations come to what you've seen on the engine dyno?

Per Vizard and other books, even a 351 is adequately carb'ed at 600 cfm, but I've just got a nagging sense that to hit the higher RPMs, it needs a little more, so I've been toying with the notion of moving up from my 650 dp (originally looking at a Holley vac-sec 750, since that works well on my friend's car).

Thanks for any info

JLW
