Nick had mentioned full throttle vacuum was too low and carbs were too big, partner mentioned 500s might run better.

he said they only had 4 inches of vacuum. those carbs needed more work, syncing them for 1. etc.

4 inches at WOT? If I see 2 inches at full throttle I go bigger. If he meant at idle then yeah. The combo is off. I’ve never used a max intake. I did use an Offy flat Chevy one. That’s a big plenum to fill.the Offy was a single 4 design. Much less complex tuning Than a dual quad long runner. He‘s running it on 94 so my guess is he needs more compression for the cam. But then like I said I have zero experience on a Maxie.

It's simple to synch the carbs. Ma even provided an indexing hole to set initial carb throttle positioning. All he needed to do was ask and a multitude of MW folks would have been forthcoming. I surely would have been along with other folks.

Nobody knows everything. There is no shame in reaching out to those that have done this and done that...
