I need some help. Car was running like a Swiss watch till I changed the air filters. My RU-4410 K&N filters were down right filthy and I swapped them out with a new identical set so I could clean them without having the car down for a few days waiting for the filters to dry. However after swapping them out I've developed a flat spot around 4k in 2nd-4th when using partial throttle. When I pull the choke out this goes away instantly or if I go to full throttle the engine pulls like a freight train. With wide open throttle it would pull like a freight train till 5k when it would slow down for 1 to 200 rpm then take off again.
What I've done so far
Car has had a full tune timing, valves, carbs synched and topped off with atf. I played with the mixture today and with the mixture set full rich the symptoms go away and it runs great at partial/full throttle all the way through the rpm range.
Should I be looking at going to a slightly richer needle?
Car setup is
40 over 8.7 pistons
270 cam
hif4's with abd needles
RU-4410 filters
