Paul,Regarding your 440 and performance, if you didn't change to higher compression pistons, I would think a 268/270 cam would be in order to build compression and drop down to a 750 carb. Additionally, I would change to a 3.91 rear gear with your torque capability.
Earl is the expert though. Gary----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Kinsley" <r.kinsley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Send it to earlh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Earl===================================================================== I gotta agree Earl. I think I had a good day and Paul had a bad day. I do have more in mine too as I just put my carbs back to the "out of the box" set up. I wanted to see how it compared with the 2:76 equally. I will be tweaking on some things such as the carbs, new and better plug wires (I have 5 year old stock wires), some heat shielding and preferably a new electric fuel pump with the fuel line entering at the rear of the carbs and in front of the headers. This probably won't happen this season except some tuning. I told Paul I have a 750 Eddy that he can use to see how that works. I wanmt to help him get his beast running good too. Actually I may be putting my 440 together in the future with an OR set up. I want to get my poly running it's max first, just to satisfy myself. I have a builder interested in it so that could finance the 440. However I gotta say the poly is the best cruise night power as I get BIG crowds looking at it compared with the others.
