is my carb good enough?

I have a 400 sb with a 750 holley. I am planning on getting AFR 190 heads. I am wondering if i will need to get a new carb or if this will be good enough.

A 750 Holley is good to way over 500hp.

Just be sure you are feeding it all the fuel capacity it wants.
(fuel pump, lines, tank pickup, etc)

Your new AFR heads wil flow a lot more air so your motor
will want to burn more fuel at WOT.
