'1967 Holiday Race' ~ Plymouth GTX 440 vs. Pontiac GTO 400 'Ram Air'

I have a 50,000 mile bone stock '69 383 Roadrunner. Even with the AVS, it's way under carb'd. I bought the car with a Holley vac sec 750 on it and tuned it best as possible before I found and installed a correct date coded AVS. I spent a lot of time dialing in the AVS and even then, there still is no comparison. The car flew (for a stock 383) with the 750. Not sure why but it seems other than the factory multiple carb set ups, Mopar under carb'd the 4 bbl cars until the T-quad came out.

Correct El Mundo

Even back in 1967

Mopar recommended an Edelbrock Dual-Plane High-Rise Intake Manifold, and the
Holley 780 CFM Vacuum-Secondary Carburetor to properly hop up the 383.

One wonders,

Why they didn't offer that up as an Engine Option with the .484" Lift / 284* Duration
Camshaft.
