Default Need Intake Guidance ...

I recently purchased a '66 Coronet with a 440 RB engine. The engine is set up as follows: 440 bored .030 over, 10.5:1 forged pistons, steel crank with 6-pack rods (rotating assembly was balanced), Mopar 280/280 x .474/.474 cam w/titanium valves and HD springs in 452 heads. On top is a Weiand 7512 w/an 850 double pumper. It's all fired by a MSD ignition. Spent gas is removed by way of 1 3/4 Hedman headers through a 2 1/2" exhaust. The engine is backed by a 727 with a shift kit and 1700 stall TQ. Power is moved to the ground via a .323 sure grip.

Around town this thing is a MAJOR Mutt that wants to do nothing more than foul plugs. In my mind it is over carberated to beat heck!

In my garage, siting on the self are the following parts ... rebuilt Carter 750 AVS ... rebuilt Thermoquad ('74 Vintage 850) ... Edelbrock Performer 440 intake ... and a Holley Street Dominator intake.

Now ... where do I start? What makes the most sense? I am looking for a power band between Idle and 6000. The MSD setup has a soft limiter set at 6200 and the motor with bang it all day long. Yea, the Weiand and 850 DP work great up top ... but this is to be a srteet car, a driver, with the correct third member it'll see some stop light to stop light combat.

Again I ask ... where do I start ... what makes the most sense using what I already have? Also what would be best even if it meant going out and spending some dollars?

Thank You Much!
