    looks like a good choice of parts but a run down on your engine would help.

    i personaly try to use edelbrock performer rpm air gaps.this time i went with the summit knock off.

    The only real upgrade to the engine was the cam that was installed a few months back.

    The Stealth will work great, but I'd go with a bigger carb like a 670 Street Avenger.

    i agree. a biger carb around 650 to 700 cfm. that will give you room to grow.

    I'd have to agree with the stealth. I'm running one with an Edl600 carb, and like the throttle response, and performance a lot.

    My first thought was the carb may be a limiting factor also. I'd bump it up to the 650 range myself.:)
