Turns out it wouldn't idle because of 2 vacumn leaks I hadn't notice the night before (it was dark and I was sleepy) we plugged those up and it idled out nice but a little fast. Turned all the idles back 1/4 turn and adjusted the linkage on one carb that was not bottomed out and hit the road. With the 3X it's like a night and day difference!! More power, rev's faster and cooks right on down the road. I got rolling scratch on accident pulling out at one point! Over all it's a huge change I'd recommend to anybody running an inline.
Today I ordered the HEI from the Stovebolt company, it should be in friday or so more info (if anyone cares) once I get it installed.
