Re: carb sizing

The engine will use 600cfm. A 600cfm carb running 600cfm has to be creating some vaccum, which reduces power. A 750 is breathing easier at 600cfm hence the power increase.

OP- For a stock ht383, that won't be upper rpm, a 600cfm carb is plenty. So go with the 670 out of your two choices.
