The Performer RPM will by you nothing but some lost low end torque , not make you any more HP if your heads are stock and start to limit you from running a nice big stacked air cleaner !

My carb choice would be in the 650 to 750 range.

Oh, by the way if you have a stinky idle with no back smoke then your too lean, not too rich!
Thanks for the information. I also have an iron intake from my 69 GTO so I may just use that. Appreciate the help here.
