I'm not an expert either, but that sounds like good advice. You could use one of the Edelbrock performer intakes, or the performer rpm if you don't have access to a stock one. I wouldn't go and buy a new carb unless you have one available, a 750 cfm carb is not bad for a 428, the double pumper can be tuned to your engine and if you keep your foot out of it you should get better milage. I've always thought low end torque as opposed to high rpm horsepower was the way to build if not racing at high revs, a milder camshaft will give you better street manners. But we don't know what the compression ratio of you engine is, If it's high you may need a large camshaft to reduce the dynamic compression ratio and reduce cylinder pressure. What are the numbers of your cylinder compression tests?
