Carb/intake ideas?

I am doing the identical thing to a Dart Sport right now. A mellow 440 and all.

My understanding is that the RPM will not clear. I have a weiand Team G and it won't clear either they say.

Many guys like the Holley Street Dominator I think it is. It clears and produces good HP even though it looks like a smog intake.

I am not wanting to cut my hood either.

Just some thoughts, ROB
