Buddy needs help! Alright guys,
My buddy has a 92 Formula with a .40 over 350 with flat top/valve reliefed pistons, the bottom end has been balanced and blueprinted, but it's all stock stuff! He will be running vortec heads that will get cleaned up, but other then that, they will be stock! He is ditching the fuel injection and going Carb'd! The question is, what carb to go with? Been told 650 and also been told 750, so I thought I would post up and see what you guys say! Hope to hear some advice! thanx for your time and sorry for the kinda long writeup!

Good question. I personally think the 650 would be plenty. Yet I see a lot of guys running 750s with this combo. I've researched this a little myself since this is the combo I am wanting to put together. Although, I may end up going with a 400 shortblock so a 750 is a must.

what is the compression ratio? if it's lower with stock heads don't go bigger than 650cfm. with higher compression 10.0:1 - 11.0:1 and at least fuelie heads (camel hump heads 202/160) go with a 750cfm.

Go with a vacume secondary 750 with 30cc squirters and start off with 70's in the front and 74's in the back with both power valves still in it.
My nova has stock casting vortecs....
Mechanical 750 hp series holly with a 50cc in the front, and 30cc in the rear, 78/88 jetting for a 12.9 afr.... all motor
I will be stepping up to an 830 main body to give it more air on the bottle.
Hope this helps
