A 600 is kinda big I'd think the most that you'd be able to use is around a 450-500 cfm carb. It's jetted for a 292cid, not an 80

Dude, you can't do that! The jetting's all fucked up. Racing Beat modifies Holley carbs for the rotary, but it's more than just popping in a few new jets. They drill friggin holes and ****. You'll NEVER get that carb to work.
Besides, it's too friggin big anyways. You'll be lucky to max out a 465.
