That is more to do with the higher airspeed through the smaller primaries in a quaddy. The quaddy on a 253 was almst overkill at WOT but the design of the carb was its saving grace. Those who tell you they wont feed a healthy stroker are yet to meet someone who can set them up well. Quaddies will flow well over 700cfm and can be easily coaxed to provide a better progressive fuel curve with a couple of small mods, especially for a stroker.

If you're in or around Sydney I can put you onto a bloke who is a guru with these carbies around the Blacktown area.

Failing that a Holley is a simpe carby you can mod/work on at home if something goes amiss but don't fall into the trap of over-carbing your engine, you'll lose airspeed through the venturies (think loss of torque) and it will rev OK but pull like a dog.
