I prefer holleys, but if it's for a street driven car, I would use a vaccum secondary model like the 3310 or even a street avenger rather than the double pumper. You give up a little straight line performance, but it'll be much better mannered on the street.

It's very hard to beat the good old Holley 3310 in 780 or 750 CFM. Just run it as is and do some minor jet changes after a good cycle on the plugs.I still think plug reading is the best way to tune your jetting. Gus

I prefer the Holley over the Carter and Eddy carbs in single carb application. But if you have a 500 hp Hemi I would use at least an 850 DP. The 750 will work but that eng will want more carb. Ron
I agree!

Looking for a new carb for my road runner (specs below, m1 intake single 4). I'm never going to competitively drag race it, but I will drive it like i stole it around town, but also have a 2 year old that I don't need to be standing on the side of the road with if it vapor locks or has any other problems. So my question is do I go for more performance with the Holley DP 750, or do I go with the old reliable Carter 750. I currently have an Eddy 800 that I don't like very much on it (good at high rpm, not all that great around town driving)
What exactly is the eddy doing that you don't like?

I'd go with a Holley. The double pumpers can be a bit much for regular street use, but that hasn't stopped me from using one. My 440 makes about the same power that you're making and I have an 850 cfm double pumper. If you take this route you may have to jet the carb down a bit from the stock 80/80 jetting. Good luck.
