Had to go to a cowl hood to get the needed clearance. Heads, #64, ported to 250 on the intake side and c.r. at 9.7 to 1. This combo yielded a best of 11.69 at 115 on 93 octane. As Cliff pointed out your combo may not benefit from the RPM but it is an excellent intake for the 400.
Nice, the car pick up with the spacer?
