Yes it was an 850 CFM Holley but it had vacuum secondaries. Maybe the engineers at GM should have asked mreid what to use since their years of racing experience and dyno. testing must have been wrong.
Like I posted earlier, NO manufacturer used mechanical secondary carbs. on a production car, even limited production ones destined for the track. Not Ford, GM, Chrysler or even Shelby. There is a reason for that.
