Lets get started, first DON"T put those airbleeds in. The intermediate circuit on an 8896 makes the carb fat in the middle, lean up top or both. The intermediate circuit was designed originally for IR manifold Hemi's and while they can help in some cases, most of the time they hurt the performance. Make sure you have 93-94 jets in it. There are instances on the 8896 where you can take the jets OUT and not get one rich enough, there are idle feed tubes in the main wells that restrict the flow in some cases. If you use a powervalve (front only, never in the back) for street drivability, drop the primary jets to 88-90. Clean the carb well, making sure your idle and main airbleed passages are clean as well as the metering blocks. This should make it manageable, but the real fix is a 2-circuit conversion, read the links I posted. If you don't feel capable of doing the conversion, Gary Stinnett is one of the few doing it. Last the t-slots are usually not positioned right and too long. READ.
