    Wny would I need a bigger carb? For what reason? 358 hp. Not estimated...but real numbers with THAT carb. I am NEVER going to race this car....and the speed limit is 55 most places....as high as 70 on the interstate....so that is plenty of carb.

    Well, you could have even more power. 600cfm is holding it back. You have 2.02 heads, a big cam, and almost a half-inch more stroke than a 302. It's basically "detuned" right now. It beats anything I have though. I'm jealous....
