With the info provided....
I don't think you *need* a 650DP, I think yours could be tuned to work fine.

Look, im not trying to sell a carb here vacuum secondaries suck.... I know there will be people who will shout at me but the deamon (whichever one you get) has manual secondaries. You can adjust the secondaries for progressive or direct for racing... it's the way to go... they are pricey though...

the carb isn't box stock, the accel pump has been upgraded from 30 to 60 cc, main jets went from 54 to 58 and primary squirter is also bigger than stock but i don't remember what i think it is a 20 something, the cam is a b303 ford hyd roller with trick flow spring and retainer kit and 1.6 roller rockers

2200stall is worthless. it might as well be stock. look into something in the 3000-3200 range. try http://edgeracingconverters.com/
