Glad it all went well.
I would hope you are running a stub stack, or something to help smooth out the airflow into the carb.
As far as the intakes go,,,I would suggest people to try them both out & see what the diferences are. That type of testing would be real world,put it on the street testing.
I have tested both intakes,with many different carbs.
The Offy is the hands down winner also better for mileage.
Now if you want the better top end power by about 3000 + RPM,then yes,, the Clifford would be the one to use.
Just my two cents.
