Re: carb help

If it were me, I'd save your money and use what you have. You may see a few HP by switching to a 750...but it wouldn't be worth it. You could spend the $500 dollars somewhere else (Wideband O2 sensor, ditch the flowmaster muffler and insert a dynomax, etc.).

If you have enough stall in the converter to match the cam, a 650 DP would do nicely.
