340 Six Pak...smokin', or blowin' smoke?

Never thought about jetting changes...LOL! Looks like a total PITA. It's good to know (at least from your experience) the numbers are there, performance-wise. The jury is still out for me. Right now I would be looking at around $1800.00 for carbs and manifold (new), and that doesn't include linkage or air cleaner. That's a lot of bread for 'equal-to' performance of a single 4-barrel Holley.
So gotta ask myself...is 'Wow-Factor' worth that sort of money?
