stock 85 H.O 302 210HP stock.. upgraded to heddman headers and full flowmaster exhaust american thunder i think it was... now putting on a performer RPM intake... i'm guessing a 600cfm will work fine for it cause thats whats coming with the intake...

is a 600 going to be good enough? still has the stock heads and cam

A 600 is fine. What type of carb is it? I am running a 600, on a otherwise stock 302 and its more than enough. Was this an EFI motor originally, if so, why ditch it?

'85 was a fine year for the GT. I'd go either 600 vac. sec. like stock or 650 DP for a little more oomph. That motor will take it.
