I'm all about the carb. Love it,.. cant stand EFI.
But,..

The way you guys are going about it just isnt right to me.

If his EFI has problems and is running like crap,.. then yes,.. switching to a carb will 'magically' fix the problem just by virtue of its simplicity. But,.. lets say he pops an RPM Air Gap intake and 650 Holley on there. He's still not going to make any more than 240 - 250hp and low 13's 'should' be his norm.

I ran a carb'd 306.

AFR 185 heads with mild porting at the inlets for gasket matching. Comp Pro Magnum 1.6 RR's. Comp NX274HR cam, Vic jr intake that I personally ported the shit out of to match a Felpro 1265 gasket. The heads were done the same. KB116 pistons with 2.7cc dome, just shy of 12:1cr on a basically stock 1991 .030 short block minus the pistons.

A typical run was 12.40's - 12.70's 1/4 mi @109 - 111 with 8.1 - 8.2 1/8 mi @87 - 88. Best ever ET was a 12.33@111.

His heads and intake dont flow anywhere near what I had. For his car to make a high 12 pass will need a damn good 60' and some hard aggressive shifting. And I dont know him,.. but if he's a big fat guy like me,.. forget it.
