Carb for 408

Which Holley would you recommend is worth it for me? Is the ultra double pumper really worth over 1.5X the AVS2? or is a there a cheaper holley that is better for this kind of build?

How much do you want to pay for HP?

Cost is definitely a big factor in this that I may have left out so far, as well. At nearly $600, the 750 ultra double pumper is about $230 more than the other two carbs I'm looking at. I feel like it might be hard to justify this price if the only difference is 10 HP extra at the top end and worse fuel economy. But again, I don't know enough to know if this is actually true. I've seen people say the edelbrock style carbs are more fuel efficient without sacrificing power at the low-mid range, but is that true?

Is 10 hp worth $230 to you?
U said way up front mostly street car
think about that real hard

Stupendously outrageous GREAT advice!

Each and every carb blows chunks until it is tuned.
Can you tune a carb?
Can you install an 02 sensor?
Can you read a book?

Have fun bro. Live and learn. Start with don’t get it right, just get it running. Then from there you can start learning.

I had a very mild 318 that I tried a Holley 4160/600 cfm vs a Edelbrock 600 AFB.
Absolutely the same on the track and with the mileage.

Go pay and go play.
