Well, if we're reading it correctly, yeah it changes, both the old and new set-up was not running to its potential.

But, on the intake, fairly common problem, I know edelbrock has several different low-rise intakes to chose from..... don't know if any will fit his application, but certainly worth a look into it.

I'll tell you what though, finding power is what this hobby is all about..... start tinkering and you'll find it. My first time out with my old 383 set-up, I ran 12.2 @ 110 mph.... I was pissed. Took it home, put it in the garage, found a few problems and tinkered with it a bit, the very next weekend it easily ran into the 11's.....just slowly widdled it a down after that through experimentation..... was fun getting a new best almost every weekend for the first few months of dialing it in. I recommend it for everybody.
