Short time I had it running I could tell the throttle response was way better than the QuickFuel slayer that I had on it. Just starting it up it ran better cold even with no choke. Immediately settled into an idle.

Did you have to monkey with mounting studs also? I've never seen anything so basic as carb studs and nuts requiring installation precision. It was like doing brain surgery (in 90+ degree heat in the garage) just to mount the frickin' thing.

My intake is dual mount but shaped for a Qjet. I really like the idea of eliminating the adaptor plate and having the throttle bores aligned with the intake plenum shape. I think it's going to make a big difference. I've also got the feeling the mechanical secondaries and the TH400 kickdown are going to make life interesting.
