    My 512 is a dynoed 623hp at 649 torque and was still running lean but I ran out of time (and money) when doing the dyno run. I have tweaked my set up since it was installed with a duel sensor A/F gauge . Have vacuum secondaries with the promax metering plates on front and rear carbs
    Front 84-84
    Center 66-66
    Rear 84-86 throttle side

    Originally I had 68 jets in the center carb but it was running too rich mid-range at 3500 feet above sea level Calgary) so I went to 66s

    Car pulls 12.5 at WOT and midrange cruise is around 11-11.5....too scared to lean it out too far. It runs like a scalded ape - pulls real hard and idles/starts great. I read that ma mopar staggered the rear jets from the factory so I did - whether it makes a difference or not I would have to spend time on a dyno.

    I will go wit what you have to start with. Thankyou
    I plan on full day when engine gets done in Edmonton.
    I’m getting the edelbrock intake ported so jetting won’t be staggered for now

    Good luck with everything. I think you will be bang-on with my set up however if the dyno is using 2 1/8 inch headers it will register lean. I just completed a 496 for a friend and we went with a 6 pack as well and we were up to 90 jets in the front and rear carbs and we were still showing lean on the dyno. I have 1 7/8 inch TTi headers on the cuda

    I have a 522 with six pack.  I was running 66's in the center carb and just went up to 68's.  I think I'm going to go back down to 66's as I too am running a bit rich at part throttle with the 68's.  My outer carbs are stock.  I am running AFR 240 heads and 1-7/8 long tubes and roller cam.  Haven't dyno'd it, but tuning with a wideband A/F.
