Which carb for my 393?

I'm trying to decide on a carb for my 393. The Holley website says 800-850 cfm, I'm leaning towards the 850. I've thought about an 830, but I want to run a choke and the Holley doesn't have one.
I've got a stroked 351w, forged flattops, Weiand Stealth intake, 210cc/58cc
2.055/1.60 Canfield heads, 600+ lift cam with a 5 speed.
Carb guys please chime in.

Thanks, George

I like the 950HP but no choke. If you need a choke, go 850 and downleg boosters.

Why do you need a choke?

750 cfm is more than a 393 can take in. if the carb can actually flow it, then a 750 should be plenty, especially if it is a street car.

CFM needs

i like the quick fuel carbs

Re: Which carb for my 393?

I had concerns about not having a choke when I bought my carb as well. However, with flattops in that engine you should have very healthy compression which leads me to agree with dfree 383... "why do you need a choke?" I have 10:1 compression in my 424W with a BG 850 Holley with no choke, and on a 30 degree morning after not having been cranked for a week, one pump on the gas and it will fire up immediately every time!
If you don't already, you may want to just make sure that you have a good starter to turn over all that compression!
