I use it to pull a cattle trailer, haul post and wire, 1000lbs of feed at a time - you get the idea
Honestly for as overwhelmingly simple as they are, i'd go with an edelbrock 1411. 750 CFM, vacuum secondaries (if i recall), and an electric choke. I use one on my warmed up 454 and it's about a perfect match.
