If you want a good "hit", you want good torque. So I believe it's best to think in terms of air velocity instead volume of air at max RPMs. I'd rethink the carb size for certain and consider a well designed head with runners 180-190cc. You have some mismatching bits there with a 750cfm carb into 170cc head runners.

BTW, I'm at a calculated 11:1 running 91 pump gas w/ full timing and no predetonation. The rest of the numbers on Tuesday.
Have any report for us on how things went onthe dyno?

I just did my taxes and reviewed my SS statement. Thanks to the current administration it looks like I will only have to work till noon on the day of my funeral.
