If it runs that strong, I hope you will be very careful getting used to it. I went from a mid 11 second street car to a 10 second car and there was a bit of a learning curve there, especially when jumping into it on public streets. I finally went to MT ET streets because if you hit it just a bit to hard to pass, it would get loose. This is not meant to be condescending in any way, and I am sure that is what Brad is getting at. As far as a carb goes, I think any of the quality carbs mentioned in a 950 would balance your need for power and streetability. You could always get a larger carb later, if needed. You have to find a balance for your expectations. I built a nice 493 for a friend with a Holley HP 950 and he loves it as he drives it on the street 99% of the time. Lots of good advice here and good luck! Thanks Lee for the great advice!  More guy's would get into the hobby if there were more guys like you around!

I agree with the others. Buy some drag radials because normal tires are like driving on ice with a combo like this on the street. Then, once you get it to hook, better make sure you have a beefy driveshaft and rearend! This combo is best compared to the Supercars you can buy. Mine does 0-60mph in 3.0 seconds n/a and 2.33 with a 150 shot of nitrous.

Everybody on this post are good guys who will help you out, you just need more hard facts about your combo(cam specs especially).
Answer all of BradH's questions, he has forgotten more about carbs than I ever knew. Fast68 has been a great help to everyone and me especially. And, Yes, like GY3 says, regular street radials can get you in trouble fast, just look at how many Hellcat and Demon owners totalled out in the first few days! And there is no shame in not previously owning a truly fast street car or having solid track experience, the shame would be not being upfront about it and getting hurt! Lots of very experienced guys on here that will steer you right.

Over 44 years of racing for me and I've only bought four new carbs. One was an 850 back in 1979 for a small block, two 750 Holleys for a tunnel ram big block in the early 1980's, and a new 1250 this year. The only reason I bought it was because I traded a guy from APD an Indy tunnel ram and some cash for it. All the other carbs I bought were used and I redid them.  Untitled by John Cadamore, on Flickr
