carb

I posted this on the carb forum, but there's much more traffic here. I have a 79 350 with 416 heads. I'm using a holley street dominator intake, comp 270-h10 cam, flowtech headers, and an edelbrock 1405 carb. Is this carb too small for my application? Would a 750 be too big or maybe a street avenger 670?

The smaller the better, thats a pretty mild combo.
What have been done to the heads, anything? If they are stock they are really holding you back.

yeah they're stock. I've been looking for a better pair. I've been thinking about vortechs, but I hate to buy another intake. I just got an intake

Ok, well they are not that bad of heads, especially with a little porting. But they are the restricting your combo.
