Ahhh - lope, as in the idle rpm varying, up and down. Thank you for
clearing that up.
For what it is worth, I went with Trick Flow heads and inlet manifold -
manifold is a bit high-rise to get longer runners and increase lower-end
torque.

****From what I've read, there should be no difference in sound between a
4bbl fuel injection system and a 4bbl carb. The people who have commented
that the lope was tamed have all installed IR injection systems. I have to
wonder if a Weber would do the same? The conclusion that I took was that
individual runner design reduces the lopinesss
