Default new carb very happy
just swapped my old 3310 holley for a 850 ultra xp and can not believe the difference! the old carb felt lazy and was never happy with the power with the bbc and it made 570 hp on the dyno now it feels like it should

a 750 would never feed a big block making any power at all. you will be even happier as time goes by.
