Edelbrock 1406 vs 1407

Hey everyone.
I am in need for a new carburetor and do not know which Edelbrock I should get. I was about to get the 1406 electric choke 600cfm until i saw the back of the package saying it was mild performance and good for cams up to 220deg.

I have a first gen 350ci with an Edelbrock EPS intake, 224/224 , .465/.465 cam, hedman headers, occasional 100 shot nitrous. I do not know what carb I should get.

I feel like the 600 is too small, as it says from on the box..

And the 1407 Carburetor says up to 230deg.. but I feel that 750 cfm might be too big.

Not sure.. need some help

I was looking to get one of these 2 carburetors because, just dont know which one
Thanks

Also I may have some new heads put on soon.. so idk if that might call for the 750, in that case.. will I be able to use the 750 until then?

I am planning on taking the camaro for a 3,000 mile rally this summer..

Get whichever one has the choke you want, and then tune it.

Re: Edelbrock 1406 vs 1407

What's Edelbrock state about a 1405? I know it's similart to a 1406, but different. It doesn't come with the elctric choke, but that's easy to add (I have a 1405 with electric choke added).

i have a 1405 with electric choke, 1406 and 1405 ,they are both 600 cfm and pretty much the same except the 1406 is calibrated for fuel economy and the 1405 is a little more calibrated for performance.
