With your combo the only intake that might be a little better would be and Eddy Air-gap. A single plane will hurt low end tq more.

I prefer the AVS over the holley by a ton, they are way easier to tune and don't dump fuel on your intake when you change fuel metering. They will get better miledge on the street and less tendancy to foul plugs, blow out power valves...

I agree that your combo can make a lot more power with a bigger cam carb and porting but with out doing all the above you will not gain much from just one mod.

My wheels are forom an 07 charger and are 5 X 4.5 (actually a metric near equivelent but they are hub centered so they ride very smooth up to at least 135mph). The actual differenace in bolt patterns is less than 1mm.
