New carb for our new 408 stroker. questions

[Steve/Bryce]

The engine is a Blueprint factory crate, 408 stroker. Just runniing on the street, occaisional burnout. 1 trip a year to atrack and tune.   Big thing is we live at 7000 feet above sea level.   What do you recommend at resonable price?

I recommend a big blower running about 25lbs of boost. 

Seriously though you probably want a carb calibrated on the lean side in that thin air, like the 1411 750 Ed carb. http://www.jegs.com/i/Edelbrock/350/1411/10002/-1#
