How about;Chermik,
You are missing the CLUES.
5-6" of vacuum is too low, & indicates a problem. A different carb cannot fix that. Maybe the cam has been installed retarded. It is a very poor cam choice for this combo. This cam shifts hp from the low range to high range. In my opinion, Chrys did it's fans a big DISSERVICE with the descriptions of their performance cams. Not enough emphasis on the characteristics, rpm range, down side. You would be much better off with a Comp 270H Magnum cam or Isky 270 Mega [ better]. You can only fix a bad cam choice....by changing the cam.....not by tuning.
A 30 gph fuel pump is too small. If the engine makes 450 hp [ I am being generous ], it will consume 45 gph, & you need a 20-50% safety margin.. You need a Carter 4594 elec pump, 72 gph.
A very wise cam grinder, Sig Erson, decades ago recognised the shortcoming of the high rod/stroke ratio of the 440. The 440 has the highest r/s ratio of all the popular BB engines, only beaten by the Lunati Voodoo Hydraulic Flat Tappet Camshaft Mopar Big
Block 361-440 Lift: .494" /.513"350/361/383/400 which were slugs. The duration warning [ below ] only appears for the 440, no other engine.
