    I have no complaints with the FCR 39 You will find allot of people on here run them. With your mods it looks like you are after a low end machine. Stage 1 cam and a 39 rear sprocket.

    I felt a better throttle responce and a good pull all the way through the RPM's They are pricey though. 350 +/- used and 425-450 new. If you get a FCR get the adjustable fuel screw it makes it easier to dial her in.

    For less coin you may want to get the stock carb bored and worked. 125-175 I here those will also give you a better throttle responce and a better punch through the rpm's over the stock carb. Just depends how much money ya want to spend.

    alot of people i know run lectron carbs, and say they really like them. I never really researched particular brands too much. I know edelbrock makes a pumper-style carb, edelbrock is a good name but that really doesnt mean it will run good.
