A few questions for you guys. I have a 1970 Dart with a 340 bored .30 over, running a comp cams thumpr 227/241(part CL20-600-4), 800 cfm eddy, 2300-2500 stall , 3.55 gears and 40 series flow masters. I have the timing rolled back to 15 degrees BTD. The car runs strong, gets horrible gas mileage and is super loud and shakes while stopped (it idles great while in park) . The family (including me) want something a little more mellow. Where do I start? The cam to me is fairly rough and when you are at a dead stop the car shakes quite a bit which the wife and kids are tired of. I know I want to change the 40 series flow masters to something more mellow. Any recommendations? The 40's are sooo loud. I want something more of a deep rumble. As far as cam I was thinking of putting a purple cam in but wasn't sure which way to go to get a smoother idle,better MPG and still have response as well as be able to use my converter. Also carb CFM recommendation would be a big help to. I don't want to put it back to stock but maybe a step or two above. Thanks!
