Ditto on the RPM. Ditch the performer carb for a Demon, at least 3:73 cogs in the rear if you they aren't, more cam duration, decent headers and a good after market ignition will wake any SB up.

I concur with RB69SS396Conv & 69bu. :hurray: The engine is just a big air pump. What you put on it determines what your looking for. Comp. Ratio, intake, carb, heads, cam, exhaust, torque conv. & gears all make the ingredients for power & driveability & of course the wallet determines this too. You asked again to about the Performer carb. I've personally had them in the past and to me they just ran out of air and I didn't care about the tuning. Holly's are good too, but I always seemed to have float and needle and seats issues with them (flooding & hanging up). The Demon for me, seem to be the perfect match for my engine and I put in on right out of the box with no tuning or jet changes & that was 7 or 8 years ago without a single problem, weather street or track. Mostly it's just a personal choice. That's why we have so many of them to choose from. Good luck with the '72 & as you can see I'm partial to this year and welcome to the TEAM!!!:thumbsup:
