Carburator and header advice needed...

im swapping my zz4 in place of my 305 TPI soon. i wont be swapping it soon, but when i do, i dont know if im switching to carburated or fuelie. what cfm carb should i use on this motor? i was thinking an edelbrock 750 cfm, or a Speed Demon 650 cfm. which one!?!? considering the edlebrock fuel injection is $2000, i dont think ill be getting it soon, so until then...

one more thing, what kind of headers should i use? can i transport all the emmissions crap onto my new motor, or should i just ditch it and run the hooker supercomps?

thanks!

A friend of mine tested out the hooker super comps (full lengths) and got huge gains in power over the shorties.
Of course I would go with the Edlebrock carb combo just like I run now.
Are you near St Louis?

i grew up in st louis, in the ghetto anyway, i dont know if i should get a 750 cfm, or a 650 cfm. is 750 pushing it a little too far?

maybe ill get the supercomps, but i still want opinions about swapping emmisions crap and using SLP or edelbrock headers.

thanks!
