I bought a brand new Holley 830 HP for $350 and a brand new looking, used Victor Jr. for $100, on ebay. After the shipping it puts you right under $500, so it might be worth it to take a look there and see what you can find.

thanks bro
I'm thinking about Edelbrock 1411 which is a 750 carb
but I'm not sure which Manifold should I get
Edelbrock 2161 or Edelbrock 1813
BTW my engine is stock
and the guy from Jegs told me Edelbrock 2161 Manifold is better for stock engines
so I'm really confused now

I have an edelbrock performer 2.0 (2161 i think)that id like to get rid of. looks like new and can send you pics if needed. would work well with bbccamaro70s carb. the edelbrock 1813 is a 800cfm carb.
