The holley 600 would be best matched to the streetport. Not bashing the sterling carb, but its really only up to the task of a stockport or mild streetport. RB recommends the 600 or something for a streetport.

Of course you'll have to rejet it. That's all part of tuning the carb.

Sorry sterling, just had to throw that in to get you in a bad mood.

I would use the sterling carb over anything else for a streetport. Nothing is better than using a modified stock carb.
