this is equal to having a 650 Holley carb then
switching to an 850 but using the 650 jets.
in order for a larger TB to work properly you need
to add a bigger injector or it will just "lean out"
and the computer will compensate adversly.
someone needs to get an intake from a multi port and
play w/ hogging out the injector fire areas to see
if it will make a noticable diff.
if injector dumps into valve port in head then a port
job would be better.
*you need to be an inj. rebuilder for this one*
I would also try machining the pintle springs a tad
to give more lift at same pulse for an increase of
fuel. try about .003-.005 at a time off the spring.
I have an 88 w/ TBI so I cant do mine.
these type do benefit from a lgr. port size.

not familiar w/ these.
w/ or w/o headers?
headers were always a bolt-on HP increaser as
long as a lgr. carb. was added. should be same
w/ newer injection sys. as they would slightly
makeup for the ease of flow increase w/ inj. pulse
timing.
