I've had good luck with them and prefer them over holleys and carters on smaller cubic inch motors. If yo run a holley or Carter with your modified manifold, I'd use a 500-600 cfm and maybe space it up an inch(four hole spacer). You may want to get your engine guy to look at the floor in your manifold, it may need some turn radius added to keep the fuel from bouncing off the floor or adding some material to offset the enlarged plenum
thanks spare I will show him the intake it looks like fuel would pool there and it also looks like it has been welded in the floor do these manifolds corrode there ??????
