Banshee, what's your opinion on my situation...I have a numbers matching '69 400 with 62 heads. I rebuilt the engine to have 9.5:1 CR (by putting in dished pistons) and had the heads fully ported. I'm running the stock intake and stock carb that I had Cliff Ruggles dial in before I had the heads ported; he didn't factor in the porting when he set up the carb. I'm running the 068 cam.
I'm still not happy with the low end performance of my setup...there isn't enough torque to do a burn out. When it gets up to higher rpm's there is tons of power and will chirp the tires when it goes into second and sometimes third.
