I would run 2.5 on the exhuast i would also recomend larger then a 600 especially if you are going to a carter/edelbrock. My first car awas a 2-V Torino stock except for i put the bigger 4-V valves in it and was running the Holley street dominator intake and I had a 750 Holley on it. It would do the classic over carbed bog it i floored it at anything under 1500 (that was with some adjustments when i first put it on it would spit back at anything under around 3000) but i was willing to live with it because of the nads it gave me up high with the stock cam I was shifting at around 7000 (valve float for me was at 7200) now I was young and stoopid at the time but realisticlly i would still carry it to 6500 if i still had it becasue it was still pulling tlike a frieght train even up that high. Also found this on a Pantera board this is how that guy took care of it. Also his is a DPP not a vacumn sec but hope it helps
