Just dropped the new motor in the Cobra:

GT-40, Aluminum Head, "B" cam, 345 HP
Edelbrock Performer Intake
Holley 600 DP Carb

Current Carb Jetting:
65 Primary, 72 Secondary

If you have the same or similar combo, where is your jetting at?

Performer Intake ? Why'd you choke it with that? If anything the 600DP is likely richer than you want. Drive it regularly then read the plugs.

I knew you'd take gas over the intake.

Light car like that, I'd take an 1850 600 and swap the fuel bowls to center hung and then tailor the secondaries to suit.

Performer was on my stock 5.0

Just got it running, now to tune it.

Drive it normally for a week or so then pull the plugs and see what it wants.
