Ideal Dual-Carb FE setup for a street 390/FE?
FE People,
Just to double-check for a friend, what is the most ideal DUAL CARB setup going these days?... for a 2400lb Cobra with a moderate 10:1 performance FE/390 in it, with 3.25 ratio taller rear end gears and a wide ratio Toploader. The car is mainly cruised around 95% of the time. Car currently has dual 600 Holley mechanical secondary carbs. Seems to be a tad large for this engine/setup and purpose.
Current Consideration:
We are seriously considering a pair of the new Holley 450 cfm #9776 carbs instead with mechanical secondaries. Will probably be selling the Holleys to someone with a more pumped up 427 arrangement.
Any feedback with these 9776 carbs on a street 390 cruiser like this would be appreciated? Also curious if anyone has any before/after feedback with making the same change. THANKS!
