Edit: sorry I thought you had a 230 but it's still big for a stock 250. I'm a small block v8 guy but have read that many inliner guys use small Holly's. Have you checked their webiste? Personally, I'd tune that 6 up right with an HEI, then get the timing and the advance curve nailed down, add a sweet clutch fan and drive it.
Do you think an HEI will alleviate some of my start up issues? It actually starts really well but if I don't let it warm up for a solid 2 minutes and do anything beyond grazing the throttle it falls flat until I let off the throttle. This doesn't go away until it's at operating temp a mile or so down the road.
