Hi Chaplin,

As you may recall in our earlier discussions last year, I changed my cam a while back too, but the one I have now has more lift and duration than your current cam. You may not want to change it yet... I'd keep working on it.

With the carb specs/changes I sent you in the email, I WAS able to get it to runs crisp, clean at idle, and from 2000-6000 it runs smooth with no stumble. In fact, I just made the exact same changes to a friends car with an Aluminum Shelby 427 and he is much happier now too. His car runs smoother, less fumes at stops, and much snappier from 2000rpms up.

If you want, send me another email... did you try the changes we discussed, and if so, what happened? Do you have an HP or regular street carb?
