Are you running the rpms?

To what rpm does your car pull to before you notice a lag in power? I am thinking i need to change the springs out in mine, seems to drop off to early for the cam. I dont even know what springs are in the engine, was even curious the day i bought the car last year since it has 906 heads on it.

Mine have a L and R on them.

It is a wdp 2q. I saw that forum when i was searching.

Installed on my 383 is a Weiand wdp 2q intake. Have looked all over the net trying to find specs on it but have come up with nothing. Have found some for sale but nothing that has any information on it. Does anyone have an old book or some kind of information on it? Mainly i am curious of the...
