carb help!

hey guys i have a holley 770 cfm truck avenger on my 460 the motor has actually been bored out and is built pretty well. its mounted in a 79 supercab and im running 39 inch boggers. the holley is leaking pretty bad. the truck is running rich. i was advised to go to a edelbrock but they only offer a 650 cfm in the off road carb. will that be big enough or should i just go with the edelbrock 800 cfm street carb. the motor dynos at 500 hp at the crank i know a lot gets lost but i dont want to starve it.

Why don't you just put a rebuild kit in the Holley? If going to the Edelbrock, I would get the 800 myself.
