I have a 347 aimed at about 7000rpm and a Holley 700dp (I believe - L47782?) on top.
On hard acceleration the engine currently stumbles at about 5200rpm so I shift at about 5k (not so much fun at the track day
)- if I pump the accellerator it will then kick on - but I dont know for how many rpm because I wasn't sure it was a long term prospect for the engine.
The generally woeful state of 'speed shops' around where my car is means that getting parts to tune something as exotic as a Holley carby is about a 1hr drive if they're open. (and they've told me they can do the jet kit for $116
)
Consequently I'm looking at ordering a number of parts at once with a view to being able to tune the engine without undue delay caused by multiple trips to purchase the next set of Jets etc.
I am considering the Holley Trick Kit because it
looks like it has a lot of useful stuff (cams, power valves, squirters etc) - but I haven't found a contents list - even on the Holley web-site.

I would really appreciate some experienced commentary on whether the trick kit and jet kit (& powervalve block off) is likely to cover the appropriate tuning possibilities.
I already have the Holley DVD and vacuum gauge (only to discover that my brother has 2 vacuum gauges
)
Any other tips/ suggestions or commentary would be gratefully received.
Also - the whole size thing - have rec'd suggestions that a 750 would be a better choice...

At this stage I'm not looking to change the carby - just get it running correctly and have a good base-line for comparison against the next set of carburettors
[and if reputation is anything to go by - a fall back after propelling said 'next set into the wall]
Thankyou in anticipation
