'85 4bbl carb replacement

Any experience going to a double pumper (mechanical) 4 barrel carb from the stock unit (vacuum operated secondaries)? Is it worth while to upgrade from the stock 600 cfm to a 650 without doing any other mods to the engine (stock)?

A "puddle dumper" carb won't be of much (if any) benefit for performance in that application. If you had heads/cam/intake and more rear gear you could take advantage of it.
