Port my current M1 single plane or install the RPM Air Gap?

Sideways threads happen quickly with highly opinionated, inflexible thoughts because people are convinced and are staunch on there stance.

The biggest mistake made with a SP intake is a carb that is too big. Get the right sized carb on it and then see what happens.

The second biggest mistake is cam timing.
