I will be using HP exhaust manifolds and dual exhaust system which I bought from Accurate. We are using a mild cam with as far as I know similar to RR specs. I was thinking of using a Eldelbrock Performer manifold 2186. I am confused on what size and make carb to use. Id like something easy to setup and tune. Any help, opinions anyone can provide is appreciated. Thanks

I would suggest any dual plane intake (its a non wearing item/if the side flanges are flat/good idea to have it checked) that you can get a good deal on & an Eddy 1406 (600 CFM) & get the strip kit for it. I see em regularly on www.forabodiesonly.com for $150 ish used. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

Edelbrock makes an AVS but IIRC it's 800CFM. 600CFM as noted is plenty for a stockish 383 in your scenario, so the Eddy 1406 would be good. You might have to do something about an air cleaner base depending on what your plans are there.

And the test is done by Steve Dulcich. https://www.hotrod.com/articles/street-demon-750-carb-review/ Here is a back to back dyno test between a 650 CarterBrock and a 650 Street Demon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNAlVFtUFL4 And there are many, many more tests on Youtube on the Street Demon. The CarterBrocks are decent enough carbs, but their tunes are terribly out dated. The Street Demons have a very good tune for mild street cars and have several important design features that the CarterBrocks do not. Do some research and I bet you'll find that the Street Demon is simply a better OOTB carb for your application. Master, again and still

The performer is considered a stock replacement, but the RPM makes more power and torque pretty much every RPM you'd be driving it. For carbs, I just bought Summit's brand 600 carb. Has great features and great reviews, and runs good on my stuff totally out of the box, I only adjusted the idle speed.

The power cross over between the Performer and the RPM is probably 400 hp. The OP won't even be close to that.
