I am a big fan of the Holley. Works great and I can get parts for it anywhere cheap. And oh yeah you can also squeeze better fuel economy out of 4 barrels by having separate primaries and secondaries.

A 600 is more than enough. It should grow with your mods. I'm using one on a 13B and I have not maxxed it out yet.
