    Your car is probably dribbling the the tires down the freeway due to some bad shocks. I would check the shocks. And tires for cupping that would be a sign of bad shock.

    3" exhaust system

    It must be the headers you are running that are making it a pain. On mine I got a 3 x pipe on with cut out right after the headers and fits nicely. But It could be because I changed the transmission mount to the round type. If no other way summit has Intermediate Pipes for your problem.

    anyone here ever painted their Edelbrock intake?

    I would think the paint would keep it cooler! Like When a painted bottom on a Intake. Hot oil will drip off and not seat on the casting forever. Plus air pushes of paint more Easily than a Rough surface. That's my Theory.

    vacuum secondary vs. double pumper?

    If your close to stock I would stick to the Edelbrock. Thay work well with proper tuning just like the thermoquad carb. I personally like them better than holleys and proform vacuum secondary. Dp work awsome but can bog the car out if not on the right set up!

    Towing with a 66 Barracuda with a newer & rebuilt 904

    A transmission on a car should be capable of pulling 2000 pounds on flat land. on steep hills about 1000. But it all depends on how many miles that trans has. A good cooler with fan,and trans temp gauge would be a plus. Also make sure your tire pressure is always good. you don't want it fishing...

    proform race carb / Idle trouble

    I meant to say the outer ones. If you were to have 70 for example you only want to go 3 sizes up to lean it out. If you wanted to richen it go down 3 sizes but that is not the case for you. Also leaning the idle can affect the high speed bleeds. You can find that out when driving at slow rpm.

    proform race carb / Idle trouble

    Might want to check the float level. Inner air bleed should be around the 70 mark If you need to lean it out go over the what you have right now. But I would follow RMCHRGR step first. 360duster what kind of fuel you running Race gas or Pump?

    20s for the Demon - how low can I go? (big wheel haters don't look)

    I think its going to look Sick! when its done man. You might want to think about bagging it depending on your road conditions you live in. 20 can take a beating on the steering components and ball joints. plus you will be surprised how it handles and how smooth the ride can be.
