I don't know how slow it wil be, the HardCore 540's start at 600HP and go to 800HP depending on the parts you want installed. I think it is great that they are using a carb in a oringinally FI car

A close friend 'Don Vargo' had a 640 in his 69 Dodge Charger. Where ever he would drive it to, he would leave the huge scooped hood on the car for a while after he parked. A small Chevy bow tie was over a tail light missed by nearly everyone. A wild looking and sounding solid black piece the Chrysler guys would flock around it. After a while he would unpin the hood and they would see that huge Chevy in there. I remember one Chrysler freak stated "it`s blasphemy" Don`s reply was really unique! "You have the Direct Connection, and I have the Correct Connection". By typing his name in the browser his appearance at a invitational National shoot-out is documented.
