Everyone will have an opinion on this subject but mine is that a 500 will put out all the fuel you can burn without rich type smoke. I had a 780 on a 454 that wasn't stock but it wasn't a radical engine either and I had to choke the jetting down quite a bit to get it just right. I'm building another truck now and going with a 383 and I'm just going with a 600 holley. A lot of people will argue with me but I personally like the holleys because I growed up playing with them and can work on them easier.
