OK, I almost have the LS1 in my truck ready to go. First off, let me explain what I have. 68 Chevy C10. LS1 basically stock, but with a COMP 236/242 .581/.581 110+2 cam, dual springs, shorter pushrods, LS2 timing chain, 700R4 trans with 2800 stall, 4.10 gears. Truck weighs approx. 3500lbs. This will mainly be a driver/cruiser with occasional autocross duty, and little to no drag racing or trips to Mexico street racing.
I've determined that I need somewhere around a 750cfm carb, but not sure which carb I should get. For the past several years I've had a 570 Street Avenger on my old 350, so I do like the Street Avenger series, but not sure that I will get full advantage of the 770 SA with vacuum secondaries. I know where I can get a good deal on a 750 Street HP, another friend of mine has a 750 DP, but I really like the hard core gray 750 Ultra HP. I just can't justify a $700 carb right now.
So here's my options. Which would you get and why?
-Holley 750 DP Price $150 (used)
-Holley 770 Street Avenger Price ~$400 (new)
-Holley 750 Street HP Price $400 (barely used) ~$500 (new)
-Holley 750 Ultra HP Price ~$720(new)
