Default Carb Swap and new Intake

I've got a 90' camaro RS with a 350 from an 88gm truck.
This might be already explained somewhere so could someone link me to a TBI to carb swap?
if not could someone help explain what could be done?
im new to carb so what would be a good performance carb i was told to aim around a holley 650?
and what Intake would work best with that? (none vortec)

Thanks guys

edelbrock makes an intake for the newstyle chevy head for 87 and newer its a performer intake great for a street as for a carb bewteen and 600 and 650 will be great

i wouldn't go anything over a 700cfm carb on a 350. i'm running a Holly 650, and it does just fine. i'm still running the intake that was on the motor when i bought it

I would go with an edelbrock performer intake if you are on a budget, if you want a little better one, the edelbrock victor jr. seems real nice. As far as the carb goes, I would go with a Holley street avenger 670 carb. Unless you have it cammed, that is plenty.

I do have a heavy torque cam right now that i plan on changing out later on down the road.
I went to the Holley website and it had a "interactive carburetor selector" and it recomented for Heavy mods a 370 CFM Four Barrle carb Part #: 0-80670

http://www.holley.com/applications/C...lector/0-80670
This is the one

i dont know what would change but i was hoping it would have a "timing vacuum port" because i want to run an manual distributer with vacuum advance
Would this been a good choice?

i looked up the Victor jr. and my only hesitation is that it says Power bands range from 3,500 to 7,000 rpm, on up to 4,500 to 8,000 rpm.
and i still redline at 5k so wouldnt i only be able to use the true power for 2k RPM?

Honestly for the money, the edelbrock performer is the way to go IMHO. That street avenger carb is the exact one I am getting for my 350, even with a cam you should be alright. You will have stock heads, correct?

yeah i still have stock heads, but i was thinking about the Performer RPM? would that be a good choice (not the Air-gap one)

and after a while ill be changing out the heads but i dont know what i'd change them to yet (good time in the future)
