Default Carb Size

Anyone running a 376 with an 850?
I'll be running a Demon 850 from one of my old BB 502 street engines. Engine is LS3 376 with ASA Cam 113 L/S angle and dual plane LSX intake. Think the carb may be a little big or need a carb spacer?
Looking for 500+ lb.ft. of Torque. I may put this build on the pump. Seriously thinking about sending the new LS3 heads out for a killer cnc valve job @ PRC.

364" with a 750 Mighty Demon....working great.

3Pedals was running a 850 on his 364" and a lot more cam than me.

I'd at least try it...One guy (I forget who) kept going bigger on the carb and kept getting faster....think he even ran a 1050 Dominator at one point.

These motors can take a bigger carb then your typical SBC due to as we all know the cylinder heads on LS motors can move some air. I would think the 850 would work great with some tuning.

950 hp here. I have had a 950 on all my combos. I run a 2 inch open spacer, the car picked up everywhere with the spacer. I tried a 1050 dom, but the carb was old and I think needed a kit. It fell back too much on the shift and was about .5 slow.
