Whats the best carb upgrade for the Holley 5200 on my 85 Rampage and best place to get it?

I used the Weber 32/36 from Redline....left the air bleeds alone but swapped the jets in my junk Holley into the Weber and no change in the qtr mile...but my Holley was a non-feedback carb too. I also use their sharp Chrome air filter, but on mine the clips kept popping off so I drilled the assembly and bolted it to the carb. My car is a RFMVB car too. I had a linkage made to make the cable work. If you intend on making any mods you might consider the Holley 390 cfm 4 barrel too, but an adapter would need to be made. I tried the intake with 2 side draft carbs but was unhappy with hot restart drivability...the carbs were too close to the head and headers so after a hot restart it took a bit of driving to get over the fuel boiling issue. I'm sure a remedy could have been fabricated, but I just didn't want to spend time on it in the middle of racing season.
