Ooops, my message didn't go thru. Guess I didn't edit my reply. I'd still go
600.
Hey John,
I have a '68 Camaro with a 350 pushing 400HP. It runs in the 12s at the
dragstrip with loads of wheelspin on street tires. I always swore by my 650
Holley. I found out it is noticeably faster with a 750. No way I would use a
500 on it.

Larry,
I'm sure some will tell you that the 500 is enough, but I would slap a 600
on it.
