What I am trying to tell you there will be sacrifices . I would say with your set up big carb big cam racing manifold you should be on the fat side of things. Anyways that is what I found good luck to you sir. Hope this helps.
But i really dont spend much time there, and from what i have felt with 615 HP on tap, its probably something left alone. I had it rebuilt to get rid of oil consumption not to make a race car out of the thing. It will fry the tires if downshifted into third and nailed on the freeway at freeway speed...The power to weight right now is ridiculous, 50 or 100 HP less would be plenty if thats what i need to get half way civilized manners at low speed stop and go (where unfortunately we have to spend alot of time living in the overcrowded under roaded Bay Area)...

Cheers
