Is anyone running Thumpers heads with a carb? Has anyone dyno'd a carbureted set up with Thumpers heads?

The flow numbers and stuff make the Thumper ported heads look like they would work really well with a carb.

I'm thinking about a combo with Thumper heads and a Stealth intake I have, but I don't want to bother him with a bunch of questions because my probable purchase is likely several months away.

I'm thinking 10:1 CR stock bore 327 stroker with a B303, the Stealth intake and Speed Demon 650 Vac secondary. I want a torque engine for a street rod, so I'm willing to sacrifice hp for torque. The B303 will give it the idle I liek and make enough hp for the project maximum weight of 2500 lbs.

I've thought that even keeping it a 302 would probably be powerful enough for what I want.

My biggest thing is I want it to be resonably powerful and pretty much bomb proof. I don't want to have to fiddle with it to get it running. I want to be able to hit the key and go have fun driving it with pump gas.
