Hi John, out of curiosity, did you need re-jet when installing a cold air intake?
I tried one recently and it behaved horribly, as if the second stage pump jets weren't working. I removed the carbs to check how well the jets were squirting and all seemed to be okay so I re-installed, this time without air intake and velocity stacks and it ran fine. Believing the problem was cured, I then re-installed the cold air intake and it reverted to behaving like a pig. I have even removed the filter and hose and taken the lid off the air box and it still won't run very well.
Now admittedly I made a huge mistake as a friend of mine fabricated an air box from aluminium, which loves to absorb the heat, so I have abandoned the idea of using it but I find it strange that my car simply won't tolerate an air box even when it's just warming up and not really hot.

if its the same with the lid off, it seems strange. have you tried it with the carb mounts slackened off?
