Using an Edelbrock Carburetor for Your Hot Rod

Bigger is not always better. If you're trying to run a big 750cfm on a small  350 it's not going to work for you'll end up flooding it with gas and you'll  kill the performance all around. If you're building a nice 350 with a good size  cam a 650cfm will treat you fine. Good response and great acceleration. A well  tuned carburetor, the right size, can be a huge performance gainer!
If you're building a high RPM motor you'll want to use a taller intake  manifold, if you're looking for torque you'll want a short intake manifold.  Either way you'll still want that same carburetor. Now is when you'll start  working with jetting and getting a little more serious. Lean, rich it's all a  matter of using the right jets and getting the tuning right.
Edelbrocks "Performer Series" carburetors and intake manifolds can be  combined with their great cams and other assorted performance parts. Combining  is key! It's all about the combination. Edelbrock has spent all the time and  money trying to figure out which combos work well in order to market them. Makes  sense that they would only use the best combinations. A good 350 running a nice  650cfm carburetor with a low-rise intake and a mild cam can be a great Saturday  night cruiser and can push 300-350 horse power if you tune it right. What do you  think they would have given back in the day for 300-350 horse power? I know my  dad would have paid nicely to just buy and bolt on that kind of performance  power. He would have whooped everyone back then.
Dollar for dollar, Edelbrock has some of the best bolt and go speed parts  available. From superchargers to intake bolt kits they pretty well have you  covered. They've been building great carburetors for decades and they'll  continue for years to come I'm sure.
If you have a 350-400 a nice Edelbrock 650cfm carburetor is the one you're  looking for. If you're running a big block 400-500 cubes a 700cfm will be just  fine for you. If you're running big cubic inches 500+ and your turning more than  6,000 RPM and bigger 750-1050cfm will be your best bet but that a whole  different animal there.
