Default Another Carb question

Hi all,

I wanted to know if my carb is right for my engine set up.

350 .030- 2 bolt
Edelbrock Performer Intake
Chevy Iron Heads with light work
Comp Cams 280H -The cam specs are 230/230 duration @ .050" and the lift is .480"/.480" and the LSA is 110 Degrees.
1.6 Comp Cams roller rockers which makes lift more like 510-.520"
Dyno Max 1 5/8" Headers
Dyno Max Turbo Mufflers
Existing Holley 4160 600 CFM Carb

vacuum is 10" Hg @ 800 RPM

Everything I am reading is telling me 750cfm... although carb calculation is showing 600cfm to be more than enough...

Nevermind... I found my answer... As usual... time makes my mind forget I asked this question... MANY MANY moons ago. I can't keep track of all the "dreams" I have....


I am now researching the 750 cfm as Lars explained previously... Norval also pushed me over the 600cfm edge...
