Yes. This. Manifold vacuum readings at WOT would be real easy to confirm this.

seems that way, I thought we discussed it, and I also thought it was .4 or something, I was told .5 is ok... not sure where to look for a restriction.. ports lined up good, WOT is present.. I could see arrestor maybe on the boast but not on dyno...

Am I reading that right? Almost 2" vacuum at WOT?

If so, you got a restriction up top.

Got a buddy with a pair of dominators you can try?

I was thinking just to see how the motor liked them. Just take the hatch off and let her eat.

Dyno shows using 850 CFm, so I ruled out doms, figured at that point my 1050's were good hmm

I can ask around and see ..

No matter what is going on with the cams, 1.7" vacuum at WOT is NFG and holding you back. I'd start with bigger carbs and see how it responds if it was me before trying anything else.

That's not how many CFM the engine WANTS, that's just how much it was able to pull through the restriction. Bet you threw bigger carb/intake on you would use more cfm.
