I have 2 carbs one is a holley 600cfm vac sec. the other is a holley 650 DP. My combo is a 99 explorer bottem end (stock) Stock gt40p's with spring upgrade and milled .030, TFS stage 1 cam. and a Weiand stealth intake. I am wondering what carb i should use. This is going to be a street/ strip car.

The 600 vac sec should be all you need. It will be especially nice for
street driving. If you tune the DP well it would give you a little more
punch at the track, but your daily gas mileage might suffer.
If you have both, it's not hard to do a quick carb swap. I would set up the
600 for the street and set up the 650 for the track and just swap it when
you need to.
