Exactly, all that money you spent restoring those carbs, and you can't even see them.

When Kaufman built my engine, he said, that the Ram air will add about 20 hp, but a 1 inch spacer will also add about 20hp. So it's a wash really.....
Build it like you want it.

Mine's a friggin animal as it is! I'm gonna keep the RA for a while.... The sound is unbelievable!

I just got mine home from the resto shop an hour ago, btw!

Your engine is sweet, let's hope the exhaust heat doesn't start cooking any of that engine paint.
The sound of a Tri power opening up is worth the money.
I have a aluminum intake for a tripower at home, I'm going to install some trip's too, yes, I know on a 67, but the sound is incredible. Tripowers are not cheap, if you do it right. If not, you will be messing with them all the time.

I painted the heads with silver high temp paint before the blue.... the blue is already burning off the exhuast ports with 103 miles on it!

Tripower works on any Pontiac engine, IMHO........ Your setup is killer though!

I really lucked out with my Tripower....... I bought my car in a million pieces, and the Tripower came with it. It has the correct front, center and rear carb, which are the hardest parts to find. The only thing I replaced on them is the center throttle shaft, the choke pull off and the lines. I am going to try to get one of those aluminum manifolds, and play around with gasket matching......

They are really easy to "tune" (because there really isn't that much to tune!). The biggest thing you have to mess around with is the float level. If you set them at factory position, you will most likely get fuel leaking at the bowl/airhorn gasket.
