I was told this would be to much for a stock 2000, anybody have any opinions, I was told I'd need to change the cam ?
Let me know if you've tried it, thanks
I have one on mine, however the engine has been modified.
Don't see why it would not work with some fine tuning and a set of headers.

I tried the 500cfm Holley on a 2.0L NA street engine with mixed results. I did not have a noticeable power increase or decrease, probably something else restricting the flow and/or the tune was way off (see below). The engine did have headers, a mild cam, big valves, and some home porting.
To get rid of the bog, I increased the jet sizes. This hurt economy by maybe 20%. I see now that Racer Walsh sells a "carb restrictor kit" for the 350 and 500 Holley carbs for use on our four cylinder engines to eliminate the bog http://racerwalsh.zoovy.com/product/RWA1218 .
