LOL at texas speed and futral suggesting a EFI cam for a carbed application. Even they know better than that!

OP I told you in the PM you sent me what I thought would work good.

Something like mine with a 106-108lsa would work well or if you didn't want to fly-cut you could go with a 235/243 106-108 lsa also even then you will probably have to flycut due to the tight lsa and duration.

Is this a strip only or limited street time set-up?

Single Plane intake and carbs go hand in hand, your tight lsa is an example of that.
