But some of the dyno testing done shows that the mid-top pipe and medium sized carb works great on this motor. Good power AND torque, with a great curve. I don't understand why you would stay with smaller carbs and low-end pipes if you can get more power with similar torque back-up?
I understand the motor "does what you need it to do" with that setup. Might as well just build a ported stocker and run some T-5's or pro circuits IMO, seems like a waste of money to buy a cylinder that can do way more than you want it to do, but choke it down. Much like people that build 421 cubs and put T-5's on them. But maybe that's not yall's thinking.
