Edlebrock Carb Questions?
Ok, well I can sell my current 600 cfm (1405) to my cousin for his 69' Stang and get a new carb. 
This works out well for me since I just had a 383 build - specs: TFS Aluminum heads, Edlebrock EPS, Lunati 227/230 HR cam, 10.3 compression, Headers, 2 1/2 exhaust.
Should I go with the EPS 800 cfm or the standard 750cfm?
Is it worth the extra money for the calibration kit?

I have the 750 mech dp on my 383 as well, replaced the Holley 750 mech dp with it. It is a great touring carb and unlike the holley I don't worry about it leaking. I just slapped it on right out of the box and ran great. I need to change the jets though as I seem to be running out of "carb" over 5500 rpm but that is due to the stock jets.

Peak torque increased by 22 lbs and happened 300 rpm sooner. Peak hp was increased by 30.
I would have liked to go with a Demon, but just I purchased all the hard lines for the Edlebrock.
I noticed the EPS 800 had some additional upgrades so it might be a better fit than the 750. Just looking for some opinions.
