Title: Valve sizes
Post by: sixty9cobra on June 23, 2025, 12:30:43 PM
Can someone please tell me intake and exhaust valve sizes for Barrys CNC ported Edelbrock stage x heads. I sending my carb to Pro Systems to be rebuilt. I cant seem to find it on Barrys website. Thanks  Second question is 850 big enough or should I go 950?         Harry

Harry, a Holley 950 is basically a 750 with an 850 base plate.  It is a marketing gimmick, it does not flow 950 cfm.  Also, an 850 carb is a race calibrated carb from Holley; not a great street carb.  Now, I don't know about Pro Systems and what they do, and maybe they have a real 950 cfm carb, but if I were you I'd be looking at one of the Holley 1000 HP carbs.  I don't think they flow 1000 cfm either, but from personal experience I know that they are good on 600-650 HP engines - Jay
