carb size

Do you think a holley 600 cfm is big enough for a stock 350 with headers and intake?

With a mild cam that carb will work well, give you good everyday driveability, etc. With a little more than stock cam it would need rejetting, etc. most likely. I have a 750 because I have a ZZ430 with pretty agressive cam.

It is not so much the Holley size, meaning a 600 or 650, but how it is set up. You can make a 600 out perform a 650 or 750 that is not set up correctly for a specific engine combination.

That's the same carb I'm running right now on my Blazer. It works fine for me as a daily driver and still has enough to make the drive fun.

I'm running it on a 355 with vortec heads, Air-gap intake, headers and Comp 262 cam.

If I were to change carbs right now it would probably be to the Road Demon Jr. 725.

Why a road deamon jr and not the road deamon?

Also where on the carb can I confirm the part number?

mainly price....I can get a 725 Jr. for around $275 with vac secondaries and elec choke

The same thing in a Demon 750 would run close to $400

It's my daily so I want to keep it somewhat practical....
