I need a little help from the nose bleed racers out there, I live @ 6300ft elevation and the nearest track is @ 5000ft give or take, I have a holley 950 hp, what size jets are you guys running? also should I adjust the air bleeds and pump shot or just stick with the jetting? My set up is a .30 10:5:1 440, heads flow in the 280cfm range, rpm performer dual plane,

1 3/4 headers into a full length 3 inch exhaust, Dana 60 410 gears, 25.7 diameter tires, 3500 stall manual shift b&m 727 4000lb car

I'm at 4700' and in my 72 Satellite with a mostly stock 77 truck 440 I'm running 67 in front and 72 in back. This on a later version of the 3310 750cfm. Could still go to 65's in front. This is on a street driver.
I would start with 72 on the primaries and 76 in back to start with. Run it and then read the exhaust and plugs.
 
Don't forget you can run more timing at higher altitude too. I race at 1,500 feet. Doesn't sound like much but the density altitude can be as high as 4,000 feet.
 
Good starting points thanks, are the air/fuel gauges worth a darn?
 
checked the old 750 carb and it had #63 jets, that carb ran well
