Hi all. I have the Eddy CH28 w/2x600 on the 440 now and it loves the setup. I have a complete NOS system for a single carb setup and want to give it a whirl. Already have an Eddy Performer RPM manilfold and need to know what size carb I will need for some safe fun at 5500rpm. Want to stick with Eddy because they work for me.
Can't afford to upgrade to the Eddy dual quad nitrous system, only their plates will fit on the CH28 and they won't sell me just the plates.
Have Eddy heads, Schumacher tri-ys, voodoo 304 w/1.6s.
Any thoughts?

Thanks Neil, I can start watching ebag for one I can rebuild. I know there are not a lot of choices going with Eddy but wondered if a 750 or 800 would be enough.
Thanks for the input!!!

I used the 750 Eddie on my 73 Dodge truck 400 BB.
Seems to work better than the thermoquad.
Been working for 5 years now but could use a
rebuild.
I agree with everyone on getting the 800 Eddie
for your 440. With juice it should be a little
wild.
What car is this in? Any 1/4 times yet?
Snap your neck, mega G-force launch, is all I want!

The 800 edelbrock works fine on a typical modified street car, which is what he has. If he had more of a racecar then a holley or a demon would be better.

sorry an eddy 800 is not going to be enough for that car. Especially if he's going to spray it. I'd go w/ at least a Holley 800dp if not bigger. He had 1200cfm on the car before. But go ahead put an 800 eddy carb on it spray it down the track. I've used both style carbs and each has it's place.

He had way too much carb on it before 
I love how people just ignore the question and give the answer they want to hear .
