Alrighty, will the edelbrock 1406 model carb be a good one for my application? The engine mods are:
GT40P heads ported
Comp Roller rockers
not sure on cam specs was told it came out of a sprint car engine, I have a new crane cam powermax H-272-2 I could install, but am lacking a new set of lifters.
Weiand stealth intake (also have a weiand x-cellerator intake)
Long tube headers, flowmasters
3.73 gears
What do you guys think? also what kinda numbers would a combo like this be roughly?

the 1406 is a good carb for reliability and economy but won't give you better performance. i switch from that same carb to a street avenger 570 and it has much better acceleration. i would think that cam would have a high rpm range that wouldn't be good for a street car or even maybe a drag one. what do you want for the weiend xcelerator by the way.
