Which Carburetor?
Whats the best carb to use on an 89 Firebird Formula with LT1 350 Block with .202 heads and hydraulic cam?
I was told Holley double pumper 650 or 700 cfm.

.202 heads??? do you mean the intake valve is a 2.02"? what are the numbers off of the head and the specs on the cam? are their any other upgrades to this 350?

daily driver, you can get away with a 600
race car, I'd go with a 750.

a 650dp will serve you just fine. what about a factory q-jet?? any thought about using one of those. They support a decent stock 350 fairly well.

Got any more specs on your mill? Going off the info we do have, I'd say a 650 is about right if you are using a manual secondary carb.
