Thumbs up Sounds like you have plenty of carb

My 514 rebuild with Edelbrock Torker 2 intake just dyno-ed at 576 HP and 622 ft-lbs torque, with a Demon 850 carb. The powerband and HP were lowered a bit due to the intake, but VERY good low end/wide band torque was the result.. (a good deal IMO) I had the Demon 850 leaned out as much as possible prior to this, because it seemed to be too much carb. A smaller carb will give you better low end use-ability. The guys at the rebuild shop tuned/cleaned the carb for me for my start-up

I will be going to a 1000 cfm air door and Holley Pro-jection EFI soon, but the computer controls will decide how much air/fuel, so the specific cfm is not necessarily directly related to full useage of same.
