Getting new carb, which one??

hey, I'm getting a new carb really soon and i was just wondering which one to get.... My mods are: Edelbrock Performer Rpm intake manifold, Stock 69 Z28 heads, it has a pretty large cam won't idle below 800 rpm, and it is suposed to have flat top pistons with a compressoin of 11:1...not sure if compressin ratio is that high..I was thinking either a 750 vs Eldelbrock carb or a 770 Holley Street Avenger carb..

Thanks for all your help.

750 double pumper. Forget those demand-based things.

You'll need a converter that stalls above the "bog" point. Holley's website has a chart to steer you in the right direction.

I second the Double pumper. If go fast is a concern that is the way to go.
