    Vacuum secondaries, and that 4 barrel will still be very good, unless he puts his foot in it. I wouldn't want to see him go lean on the top end. I'm just talking ingeneral here guys. I like to make sure I have that extra punch if I need it. I run a little 390 cfm on my 2.8. Get good mileage, but have the punch when I need it. And the engine can only draw so much depending on cubic inches anyway.
    Denny,he won't go lean he will tend to go rich or the engine will go flat on hp and torque and fall off if it runs out of air.
