Default Carbs

Hi, I need advice/suggestions on a carb for my 69 camaro. I currently have a 350 with an old b&m 162 blower fed by dual webers (40s). Needless to say, its a maintenance nightmare. I'm thinking of changing it to a holley 80572s. I believe it's made for blowers. I dynoed at 300 rwhp with an old doug nash 4+1. The manual recommends a 4150 but only use single pump 750. Any thoughts advice on other carbs?

The factory also recommended the use of the dual webers, but it's not working out too well. Was just looking into other options. I am still looking into the holley 80527s which is a 4150. Have you or anyone you know used this carb? Any issues with this particular carb? Thanks for the feedback!
