On top of that I'd lower the floats on the carb(s), put smaller primary jets in, maybe even check the carb size, as KC is known for his "bigger is better" carb applications

Are you in NYC, NJ, Westchester, or out on the Island? I ask as there are several decent shops that you could be point to in order to set the car up for your wants and needs.
