A few quick Edelbrock 1406 questions.

I'm running a 600cfm on top of a new intake and newly installed 416 heads with an L98 cam (and totally worn out bearings, lol).

Just looking for a ballpark on what jets i should use and whether or not i should bother pulling it apart to re-jet it. Some folks say too much carb, some folks say just enough, hoping some more experienced carb owners can drop some knowledge on me.

Jet sizes? Metering rods? dont bother? Thanks in advance!

600 CFM is by no means too much.

Check out the Edelbrock manual, it has about as clear a process as you could find for jetting it.
