Ogier,
I wasn't trying to be a smart azz....I know all of the CFM formulas too. I always fall back on what GM did, and ofcourse personal experience. For a daily driver with a max rpm of 4500rpm, im sure the 600 would work OK, im also sure a properely tuned Qjet would be better. The Qjet is a little more than 600cfm. GM used 750s and 780 holleys with good sucess<sp>.

On the 455 im sure there was no hesitation or bogginess with a 600cfm carb, but there was a few HP left on the table.(IMO) Maybe im just out of touch(with pure street) tunning.
