Carb Recommendation

I'm at the point where my engine is making more power and the carb is not supplying enough. I currently have a 600 edelbrock that I've been running for 6 years and rebuilt once. Now that my malibu has turned more into a street/strip car, I'm in need of more on the top end instead of just cruising power. I'm having to make shifts in the 6000-6500 range (within cam operating rpms) to compensate for the gear drop from first to second.

Below is the drivetrain setup:

Engine
- 350 with .010 bore
- Lunati Voodoo 60103 (.489/.504 lift. 227/233 dur. @ .050, 110 LSA)
- 9.4 : 1 CR
- Iron heads, 2.02/1.60 valved, slight port work, 1.6 rockers
- RPM Air Gap intake
- Flowtech full length heads

Drivetrain
- 700r4 fully rebuilt (copycat monster transmissions)
- 2500 stall
- Currently 3.73 monte ss rear end
- In the middle of ford 9 rear swap

I've narrowed down my choices of carburetor to a Holley 650 double pumper, or Holley 700 vacuum secondary. Looking for input and any other recommendations.

You pretty much have it picked. Only difference is if you are worried about mileage. The vac secondary will help with that if you drive NORMALLY. If you can't keep your foot out of it, it won't matter. You can probably find a vac secondary 3310 750 for sale for under $200. I have one that I plan on selling eventually when I get around to taking pictures of it. So they are everywhere.
