Man you need more carb! Hmmm, 351C engines love fuel. I would say go with a 750 at least, and for 400 bucks you can get a Demon carb. If you rev past 6k rpm your probably gonna need more than a 750.

edelbrock owns carter.

and edelbrock "performer" carbs are pieces of crap. I KNOW I was given some bad advice, but even so when I yanked my edel 750 electric choke and threw a Holley 600 on my truck I gained over 100hp and 100 ft-lbs straight out of the box.

So why do you all hate Holley? I rather like mine.

Have you tried a Demon???I thought Holleys were ok until I put Demon on,then I found out how bad the Holleys really were.The engine just runs so much better,at least in my application with a Demon,your results my be different.
