So im building a 406...... here it goes....SBC 406 with TRW Forged L2477 pistons on GM 5.7 rods with a GM 400 Crank and SFI flywheel (all Balanced), AFR heads that have been fully ported (out to about 217) and polished, 2:05 valves with roller springs to match cam, Comp Cam -5 roller cam 630/630 small base circle, double roller timing chain and aluminum timing cover. This is a 4 bolt main block and it's 30 over. ..... I have some solid crower roller lifters and rockers and hardend push rods, and a Victor jr edelbrock intake.... Anyone have a suggestions for carb.... balancer.... and fuel system??? let me know please!

ATI super damper
As for a carb, quickfuel carbs are the shizznit.
Quickfuel carb
if this is out of you price range, get an 850 cfm.
sounds like a stout motor, careful with the gm crank, don't spin it to high.
also, with heads that size, i might consider stepping up to a super victor, or at least a spacer on the vic. jr.
what is the cam part #?
You need something other than a stock fuel system.
from personal experience, get a mallory comp pump. the holley pumps are noisy, and personally not designed as well. the mallory uses a gerotor, which is a great design
above all, get a return style regulator. Getting a return style regulator will eliminate the possibility of fuel delivery issues had with dead-head regulators.
