Weber 32/36 DGV a'la Ivey?
It may help to know if your carb has been race modified or is stock as well, i.e.: are there little brass tubes that have been added to the ID of of the throat?
torque vs horsepower for auto-X
Mark-
for autocross, it's my opinion that horsepower isn't the best metric to be using for evaluation of your engine's performance assuming your objective is competition versus participation. to Neil's point, there are a number of compliant things that can improve the mid-range torque of your FFord engine at the expense of top-end power. the area under the rpm-torque curve for a FFord engine is essentially a constant making tuning a zero sum game. thought of another way, nothing is free! the camshaft in most FFord engines is installed retarded with respect to TDC to improve top end power for road racing at the expense of mid-range torque. in addition to four EGT's, three simple ways to improve mid-range torque come to mind that would improve performance in an autocrossing environment: 1.) have your engine builder adjust the camshaft timing to straight-up or advanced with respect to TDC. 2.) use a real 4:2:1 exhaust (ie: not an asymmetric 4:2:1) tuned for someplace in the neighborhood of 5500rpm (your data system will tell you the right number). 3.) use a real 4:2:1 with smaller primary tubes to move the engine's torque peak toward your optimum rpm.
