will a super victor intake

My old 410 stroker worked great with an Air-gap, ran to 6500 RPM no problem. When I switched to a Victor intake (if I recall correctly) I picked up about a tenth in the 1/4 (10.8 to 10.7). To me it sounds more like the carb was the issue (or a combination of the 2).

Glad you got it working well now.
