A better choice would be a 750, the 650 will most likely, depending on manifold choice be your limiting factor.
Cam is also pretty mild for a 383.
What are you expecting for HP 390 (300 RWHP) ?

Well lets start off saying it takes about 425-450 SCFM to make 400 HP. That's unencumbered flywheel HP (gross) not SAE (net) or RWHP.
That said, most builders will recomend using between 2/3 (429 SCFM) and 3/4 (487 SCFM) of a carburetors rated flow to calculate which carb to use.
OK that means that a 650 would be on the low to medium side for 400HP, but that would be it, the limit to your engine.
Tell us a little more about your heads, and cam.

750 minimum. No vacuum secondaries, use the dp. Holley's website has a section that lists all their carbs with the baseline settings. Set the carb to that and tune/adjust from there.

I've got a 650 double pump Speed Demon on my 383 in my 61. It feels a little under carbeurated. If I had it to do over I would go with a 750.
