Don't be tempted by the big B1 intake you mentioned in the classifieds...it will KILL your lowend torque.

I'm running 4:10 gears and a 30-inch 10.5 wide slick

I have not checked fuel pressure during a full run, just for shorter tests on the street (I do not have a fuel pressure gauge in the cockpit.

After my earlier post, I looked at the B1 and realized it was Max Wedge ports, so I wouldn't use that.

Once I get this combo dialed in and my 60-foot down, I'm thinking maybe a head change would be the next step for the engine. I'd also lose a bunch of weight off the front of the car, which would be nice. Would you agree the heads are the best next step? Since it's a street/strip car, I would prefer not to go crazy-big on the cam.

I have looked into the EZ heads a bit. They seem like a good way to go, although a little pricey. Even more with CNC porting. I guess they flow like 340ish with CNC? That's probably more than I need.

You can always slow it down but it is impossible to speed it up if you don’t have it. I always error on the side of making a little more power, that way you got it if you need to use it.

Anyone that works with Mopars on the dyno knows that 35 is not enough timing--that is at the point where a few more degrees means big leaps in HP usually--many like around 41 or so in my experience--now I know it all comes down to combustion chamber--piston top etc but 35 will not get it when seeking best power numbers in most cases

Now you did it. Don't you know that 36 to 38° is the only right timing for a BB Mopar. I read it so myself right here on this forum and a magazine.

To be honest I dont think your heads are the choke..
you need a 1050 for the cubes.. but thats for a race
car... I dont know if you want to play with the fuel
on the street

Hmmm. Maybe a six-pack?

Any engine I have thrown more carb at helped in power
but lets look at the math.. what did a stock 440
come with for carb.. 850... then do the percentage
of yours.. thats the minimum ... or if you want you
can put a vac gauge on the intake and see what you
have.. but I have found that the sooner that gauge
gets to zero the better.... IF it does... I havent
ever run a 6 pac but I have run tunnel rams but I
had bad carbs on them... I only run a DP now days
