way to much intake and carb!! it'll hurt you in the bottom end and never reach the full potential of the intake as the cam will never reach the rpm range the intake was designed to be most effective in.....better suited would be a 600 to 650 max carb and a dual plane intake to the tune of 6500 rpms capability
