Is a 650 cfm carb to big for a 350?
If you’re expecting a maximum of 6,500 rpm, you’re going to need a 650- to 700-cfm carburetor. These sizing numbers are only the beginning of carburetor selection—a baseline. A 600-cfm carburetor may perform quite well on a stock 350 Chevy.
Are carb spacers worth it?
Spacers are said to improve air/fuel vaporization through and out of the carburetor. Anytime the air/fuel charge has to turn sharply coming off the carb, it increases the chance of separating the fuel from the air.
How do you tell if a carb is a double pumper?
The carb on the right uses center-hung, dual-feed float bowls, whereas the carb on the left uses side-hung float bowls with a single fuel feed. The most common misidentification of a double pumper carb is because it has center-hung floats.
What’s the difference between Holley 4150 and 4160?
These two are very similar with the primary difference that the 4150 uses a thick metering block in both the primary and secondary while the 4160 is shorter in length and uses a thin, metering plate on the secondary side.
What happens if main jet is too big?
For example, using too large of a main jet will cause more fuel to enter the combustion chamber than it can efficiently burn. This will result in a “sputter” at full throttle. It could best be described as a rapid misfire.
How many jet sizes go down?
The suggested change in jet size is to go down one jet size for every 1,500 feet in density altitude you go up. Conversely, for every 1,500 feet you go down in density altitude, go up one jet size.
What happens if carburetor is too big?
An engine with a carb that is too big will put out less Torque and Horsepower . It will be difficult to drive due to poor low-end torque. If you drag race your car, an oversized carb will produce slow 60 ft. times.
Does a carburetor spacer add horsepower?
Yes, they will give you more horsepower. But carb spacers have another important function. They also act as insulators which keep engine heat away from your carburetor to ensure cooler incoming air and fuel.
How much does a 650 Double Pumper cost?
FWIW, I’m very pleased with my $750 tuner-Holley double-pumper 700, extensively reworked by an expert. Power went up while mileage ALSO went up 2mpg, over a 600 vac-sec, a 650 double-pump and a 750 vac-sec. These last three are for sale cheap to anyone who wishes to prove this wrong.

Which is better a 650 or a 750?
750 would be better for full horsepower. The 650 will have great low rpm throttle response, but expect it fall flat before you reach peak rpm possibly causing engine damaging detonation. Don’t expect the smaller carb to get better mpg. I have seen too small of carbs get crap mpg.
Why did Holley make the 650 Double Pumper?
The whole reason Holley developed that line of carburetors was to compete with the carburetor tuners, and with Barry Grant. The HP carbs offer a viable choice to both.
