Default Carb Size for 427-433cuin LSX Nitrous Motor

Just looking for some input on carb size for the following motor.

11.5:1 Comp
cam 250-260 duration .630 lift
LS3 style heads 250cc to 270cc, flow 360ish at .700
LS3 super vic.
Direct port nitrous kit - 250 to 400 shot
3200lb car with 1.80 glide and brake, 3.73 gears

Any input appreciated.

Recommend looking at Quick Fuel options, 4500 style in the 1050cfm range.

I believe I would agree with the other guys on this one. My 408 ended up with a 1000 cfm 4150, but with your bigger engine should need more.

I would keep in mind if you're planning on any class racing to see if they're any weight breaks for 4150. Mine is 75# so I stayed 4150

Quick Fuel Tech is glad to help if you call them.

If you can get Dale Cubic on the phone, he's one of the best, but pricey

I think a Dominator matched with the new LS3 super vic. Should work good.

If you were restricted to 4150 flange I had the perfect QFT carb for that setup. I am about to put it up for sale I think.

Its a Q series 4150, custom built for my 383ci race motor with a n2o plate kit.
It is a 950 main body with ann boosters. It flows 1125cfm.

It was on a super victor pulling air through arf 205's at the command of a 248/258 solid roller at .650" lift. With 383 ci and this top end, it made around 600 fwhp.

950 main body with 1.45" venturi, flow 1125cfm by running the more restrictive annular style booster? I call bullshit, and useless for the OP to reach the power levels his combination is capable of anyway.
