FCR39 tricks and tips for a 96 tbird

I ordered a set of fcr39s a month ago and was then robbed of my project by an unexpected out of town work project. I am planing to get back to the project in a few weeks and was wondering if any one had any tips on making sure I get the best performance out of a great carb. I am currently running TOR exhaust with no other performance modifications.

I have them on my Legend and they're great. Be careful because when you get on it, you may crap your pants the first few times.

I'm running them with K&N Pod filters and British Customs Predator Exhaust.
As is there was a huge power gain, but there can me more done:

New header with crossover pipe.
New Ignitor.
Upgrade Cams.
