Default carb/intake options...

its almost time to order a carb and intake manifold for my 351w motor. its .030 over with aftermarket cam, a basic port and polish on the stock heads and 1.7 ratio roller rockers. what carburetor and intake manifold would you guys suggest. i plan on mostly street and occasional 1/4 mile.
are the summit kits they sell decent or just low end products? and does it matter whether i get manual or electric choke?electric seems like less of a pain.
thanks,
carl

also which size is best for this engine?

For what you want I would use an Edelbrock Air Gap dual plane intake with a Demon or Holley 750 with vac secondaries. I think the electric choke is a good idea as well.

That would be my choice for a mildly modded street driven 351W.
