In my 1968 Barracuda fastback, I run a 400 based 512 stroker with Trick Flow 240 heads and a hydraulic roller cam with 254 duration @.050 with 618 lift, backed by an A833 4speed manual. Intake wise, I have run a port matched TM6 single plane with a 1 inch spacer and also a RPM, topped by a 950 cfm Quick Fuel carb. Both intakes fit great under my flat hood. The RPM makes more torque and recovers better between shifts. My car has been a fun street car that will see minimal track time. How does the Track Heat fit, as far as hood clearance? On paper, the low deck version is no taller than the RPM.
