His car is a 4 speed.

How did it feel driving with the curve softened?

As am I, with 1300cfm.

I will check, don't recall off top of my head. Both Quick Fuel carbs, both Q model, one 850, one 950. Both jetted and tuned on dyno.

What do you base this on? Many of us with 408's have found quite the opposite, in fact, mine pics up considerably with a 950 over an 850. I'm not looking to start an argument. I just wonder if this is your opinion, or do you have empirical data to support this?

I'll bet it idles better with less throttle blade, and much more power and response on tip in?

In my case, Invovic EL 318

I had a custom curve distributor done at FBO last season. After removing the Firecore that I did myself, the custom curved FBO was an absolute dog. It was 18 initial, with mechanical to 32, all in by 3000. It was like I lost 100hp. I pulled it and made adjustments to mimic my previous...

My W2 408 also peaks at 32 total on the dyno. The combination of long stroke and closed chamber doesn't require a lot of total timing.

I am looking for 1 very clean 15x6.5 wheel like the one pictured below. I have a pair, one is in mint shape, one has quite a bit of fine pitting which I think will show when painted. I will be painting these body color. Let me know what you have please, must be willing to ship to Canada...

Thanks for your response.

I'm glad to hear this, thanks very much!
