With a 2800 Stall speed you're on the borderline between using a mechanical secondary and vacuum secondary. If you stick mechanical secondary a 650 is a better choice. It will give you crisper throttle response, and acceleration, while the larger vacuum secondary carburetor will give you a little better top end.
