Question What size carb?

What cfm carb would you reccomend for a 351 Windsor, bored 20 over with a torque cam and headers? Also which would be better, an Edlebrock Performer intake manifold, or an Edelbrock Air Gap, maybe even an Edelbrock Performer Rpm? I was thinking anywhere from 600-750 at the most.
The truck is an 81 f-150, 4wd, 4speed. It will also be a daily driver and occasional off roader/hauler/tow vehicle.
Thanks for any help.

i personaly like the new air gap, works great. as far as performor or the rpm, it depends on the rpm range of your cam.

if it were a modified i would say stay with the 600 motocraft for the ignition advance, but i dont know nuthing about the windsor. i would make sur eyou could handle the 750 and that it is actually needed, a lot of people put one on for bragging rights and have no need to put one on there.
