I like the one from 12bolt.com better since its a Holley 4 barrel style, you just get the 2 barrel adapter and put either the 350cfm on the 230 or the 500cfm on the 250/292.
I have a 230 or a 250 in my 65 1 ton and it performs just fine for what it is. it will do any legal speed limit here. they weren't built to pull "b" trains but what they were meant to do or they wouldn't have sold them
