    if its your basic reman 350 the RPM range is within 5000 RPMs.My first choice would be a Q-jet...my second choice would be a 570 Holley

    Hard to beat the 600 Edelbrock's for the street IMO. My experience with the Edelbrock carbs is once you get the calibration correct, just keep a good fuel filter on the car and the tune up will last quite well.

    I hate the price gougeing in the aftermarket. Get a Q-jet from a salvage yard and rebuild it because they can be leakers. The large secondaries would work good when you want to use that 385hp.
    Hey has that thing gotta Heme in it? No, it's a shevy not heme!
