Sparky, thanks for your input, the car is an automatic and right now has the stock converter from the trans am although i plan to put one in the near future, thinking maybe 2400-2600 stall. I don't really understand your advice about the distributer (im a fuel injection guy, this will be my first carb set up) could you put it another way maybe? I have seen the tests on some of the air gap intakes and I agree that will be the way i go with it. Could you tell me what exactly is it about the set up that would make you go with a bigger carb between auto/stick, just curious. thanks again
