750cfm seems small for 482ci. But it must not be- that's big hp!

I was thinking 850cfm, but they suggested the most performance out of the 750. They are the ones that should know, so I went with their suggestions.

I'm curious, did they dyno your engine with the sidepipes or something similiar in exhaust restriction? Should be a fun ride!

Here's what an engine on the dyno at Keith Craft's shop looks like. In this case a 496 c.i. 427 FE.

Keith built my 482 also and I'm very happy with it. He started with a 750 on mine but found that a 950 made it better. 622 HP 630 TQ.

Sounds like your is the same recipe except the carb.

Here's my specs:
Genesis iron block, scat I-beam rods, eagle cast crank, diamond pistons melling oil pump,
Comp cams hyd roller 248/252 .630 lift 110 lobe separation
edelbrock stage II aluminum
erson rocker system
quick fuel HP 950 Drag racing carb
Aviad pan
MSD dist-coil-box- NGK plugs

you are going to like it.
