Best street carb?

I am going to build a 430 horse ZZ4 and would like to know what would be the best street and occasional strip carb for around $500?

Bit over priced but it comes with all the goodies in place. I've had very good luck with my 670 cfm on the 305. Got a bigger one than needed because I knew I'd be building a bigger motor That's going to happen soon as the money pile gets high enough hehe.

I am running a 770 Holley street Avenger on my 383 and it is running great! I needed no adjusting to it other than a little tweaking of the mixture screws.

Demons are pretty nice. I can't compare my little road demon to a holley, but it beats the snot out of a q-jet.
