The qjet has a spreadbore with very small primaries, so it's like running a very small carb until you open the secondaries. A big square bore holley will have you running on alot bigger cfm/fueling at low rpms on the primaries. If you're secondaries are coming in too soon, you've just quadrupled your problem.

I like the E carbs, they work great out of the box and have good throttle response in my experience. I had two 600's on a tunnel ram and a 366 small block and it was the snappiest car I've driven on the street...go figure.

I would probably go with the 600 with your set-up....you won't be pushing it past 5800-6K anyway, so the added airflow is a moot point.

I'm pushing 500hp with my little 383 on E85 which has about 25% more fuel requirement on my motor, the 750 still feels a bit big off idle.
