Yessir! A substantial power gain, no more cold starting woes and NO MORE STALLING! I'll be willing to say that my gas mileage is better as well.....if I could keep my foot out of the 4-barrel

Very easy project......started right up, slightly adjusted the carb and started driving. Didn't even have to mess w the timing.

Maybe mine'll sell since their all grody :P

haha.....I need to tune the holley a bit better. I have a bit of a sputter from time to time.....might be running a bit rich. I'm also thinking I might have a small gas leak somewhere, but its somewhere in the old lining near the tank.

I ran her hard for the first time this morning and buried 110......and watched the gas needle drop.

kk....got a question bout my setup here. I noticed while installing this that there are two lines running to what I can only describe as the black fuel rail that goes around the valve cover and leads to where the two SUs used to be. As you can tell from the image, we didn't remove this we just kind of spliced the two outlets together.

Could this reduce performance or cause any strange behavior? After driving her for a few days I'm beginning to notice a slight hesitation while starting from a complete stop unless I give it a bit more gas and ride the clutch.

Looks good, glad you got the intake you wanted. Try selling the SU's over on zcar.com, they will go pretty fast over there. Should get at least $100 if they work. You might be able to sell them as cores to ZTherapy for about $60 or so also.
