The car is mainly cruised around 95% of the time. Car currently has dual 600 Holley mechanical secondary carbs. Seems to be a tad large for this engine/setup and purpose.
Current Consideration:
We are seriously considering a pair of the new Holley 450 cfm #9776 carbs instead with mechanical secondaries. Will probably be selling the Holleys to someone with a more pumped up 427 arrangement.
Any feedback with these 9776 carbs on a street 390 cruiser like this would be appreciated? Also curious if anyone has any before/after feedback with making the same change. THANKS!

When I had a 390, I was running with these two Holley, they made me 100% satisfied and they were of excellent quality. They also worked on my new block: a 482 but they were not the best combination.
