Thanks, I am pretty happy with how it turned out. Tomorrow I have to make sure it still runs :)

Yeah, well keep us posted. Looks like you have a similar setup as I do..velocity stacks and pd carbs..but couldn't see your exhaust. Assuming you have 4 into 1... Im running #115 mains with stock slow and needle positions and it runs very nicely!

I shouldn't have touched the paint. I wet sanded and polished and I think it looks worse than just spraying and leaving it alone. It's smoother, but not as shiny.

What size were your original mains?

Stock size was #98 (i think) but I never ran them. I swapped to PODs first with #105 mains...now I'm at #115 for stacks. My stacks have screens inside and I run Outerwears on them.

Are your air mixture screws seated all the way in?

I ran them in all the way and then backed em out one and a half turns. I'm curretly trying to find new washers and orings  for them though. What exhaust are you running?

Bet yours will run better than mine with those baffles.  :o I'm definitely wishing I had made some more restriction in my pipes...might take 'em apart one of these days and make something better...
