440 Intake for Full Race?? - Our Lil Red Express

It could just be the rings getting tired, I'd do a leakdown 1st., If it ran good before with this set-up, theres no way it can't run good again, just don't blame the TR, The weiand Street ram is one of the best for torque & drivability, Its a proven fact over just about any single set-up out there, Don't believe the hype about old technology or TRs are hard too tune yada-yada, its BS, most that say that have never run one or can't tune them so they give up, I think your over carb'd, A pair of 650dp's is all thats really needed, A pair of 660's are even better for drag racing, not so much for a cruiser, which i'm sure yours is not, but the 650's will be fine, It would be a shame to see you go with a single set-up & be right where your at or a bit slower, you will be pissed, check the engine out 1st. A weiand street ram & the "right" carbs dialed in will stayed tuned & give you less headaches then a single carb trust me BTDT, you will never get all that top end back, just pick the right carbs, thats "key" when running a TR, you already have the linkage for the side mounted carbs, unless your useing the small bowls, thats my 2 cents.
