Inquiring about recommendations for a new carb.

Guys I'm thinking about replacing my Original rebuilt Rochester 4 Barrel carb. I've got an 86 Z28. Motor rebuilt, bored 30 over, crane wolverine cam, heads cleaned up a bit nothing crazy. Can someone make a suggestion for a replacement carb which will offer a bit more performance then the original and still connect up to existing vacuum, etc. ? Your suggestions are really appreciated guys. Thanks...

If you are using the factory intake, a spreadbore Holley is an option. They are easy to tune.

Thanks Very much. You seem to be right on point. Summit suggests a Holley Spreadbore Part # HLY-09895. Was that the one you were thinking of ? 650CFM. Will any and all my Vacum & Gas lines fit right up without modifications ?
