If that 484 cam isn't backed up by good compression, 3000+ stall and 3.91's I don't care what carb you put on it, it will be a DOG. [IMG]http://i66.tinypic.com/pui5j.jpg[/IMG] Coming soon!!!!

I would try your buddies 750dp, I'm sure you will like it, thats the carb i'd run on that combo, just make "damn" sure you have the timing curve set up right for that cam. Like mentioned earlier, at least a 3000 stall & 3.91s. If it were mine, I'd use a 36-3800 9.5" & 4.10s, 750dp. Timing. 16-18* int., 34-36* total, all in by 22-2400 RPM. 75 Duster, 451 10.87 @ 123.58 NA 97 Z28 6sp., 12.01 @ 115 on a 100 shot 71 Swinger. 360 magnum. 12.58 @ 105 78 cutlass, 469 BBC. 12.70 @ 108 on street tires. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2kqNmMfheU

You are going to drop the hammer at 4500 and it's going to want to fall flat. The DP will be more tunable than the TQ. As mentioned make sure you have your timing set..I'd try all in full 38* at 2400. [IMG]http://i66.tinypic.com/pui5j.jpg[/IMG] Coming soon!!!!
