When I was trying to dail this carb in reading the plugs,got the motor working great and good plug reads with the Stellings/Hellings and no foam,up to a certain rpm.It was definetly nosing over for the lack of cfm.I took the hood off and started playing around 14x4 K&N.It gave me what I wanted,except for the huge lump now on top of the carb.After agonizing over what to do about a hood,I finally bought another, a Harwood scoop and married the two together.Final result with K&N 14x3 and Extreme cover ,giving the motor all the air it can ingest.This car was built for one reason, to own a Cobra on my terms.It being a kit made the modification very palpable.Looking at the car now, it looks even more knarly.Having the motor work (instant throttle response,and power to valve spring limits)gives me the confidence I need to do what I do.Win or lose it is a pure joy trolling around in this little hot rod.
