What carb
i have a SBC 350 with dart iron eagle platinum heads. 200cc and 64cc chamber. Edelbrock performer intake, Edelbrock TES headers, and lunati 60103 cam. I currently have the edelbrock 1406 carb which is 600cfm and im pretty sure its not gonna be big enough what carb size and brands do you guys suggest?

First, what are you using the car for? Cruising? Daily driver? Track-only? Street/strip?
You have pretty big heads with a fairly large cam. The powerband advertised by Lunati is 1800-6200 RPMs. The standard carb CFM formula is CID times max-RPM divided by 3456. Plug your numbers in, it comes up to 627 CFM. That assumes 100% volumetric efficiency (rare) and single plane intake manifold. You have a dual plane intake, which effectively splits the carb in two, meaning a little larger carb is usually required to get max power.
If you are primarily racing the car, then get a 650 double pumper Holley. If you're only cruising with it or driving it daily, your current carb will suffice.
BTW, your intake manifold is a mismatch with your cam & heads. You should be running a Performer RPM.

Re: What carb
I know some people would disagree but I would do a Holley 750dp. My car has a 750dp/HP and a Weiand team G single plain intake and I wouldn't change a thing but my car is not a daily driver.

Re: What carb
I run a 750 on mine as well. Only difference is I have an Airgap RPM. Aside from that - everything else is identical to his build for the most part.
