Holey Cow!
I just tuned the truck again. I put some richer rods in the edelbrock because of the new exhaust, I tightened the throttle, fixed the kickdown and set the choke correctly.
Wow. Is that sucker fast. It chirps tires from 1-2 and 2-3, throws the truck around real good. The exhaust is still breaking in and getting louder, I took it for a WOT run on a straight road and it sounds like a fricken stock car. I love it. Ill try to get a WOT run movie with my buddy videotaping from the car next to me. Maybe some burnout vids, I cant help myself, its just so much fun.

Bah, Holleys are garbage
Give up on em Nah, just kidding. All I had to do to richen up the edelbrock was 2 screws and put in some new rods. Simple swap and presto. No messing with Jets, it was beautiful.
