I've been adjusting all fuel screws equally to find a base which I think I now have and can dial them by ear and guage individually now. I don't think this cam will give much more than 11" - 11.5", but the new heads and manifold add yet another unknown element.

Just took another test drive and it is better and feels pretty strong in the upper rpm range of 3rd & 4th with out of the box jetting. The RPM Air Gap manifold is definitely an improvement over the old Torker II.

Can't wait for better weather and a free day to nothing but test and tune!
I figured you had it! I went through multiple methods when we were racing stock cars. It was tough because we had to run restriction plates and the vacuum signal was very strong above the plate. You're on it man keep having fun!
