Orma, If you have the temp sensor under the plug 450 is not a problem on take off. The revflo carb as installed in the Revmaster puts the fuel into the manifold aft of the carb rich on the left bank. I put a fuel deflector it the manifold aft of the carb to get the fuel to the right bank, I have a revflow carb. If the carb was rotated so that the fuel entered the manifold 0 or 180 degree the fuel distribution would be equal to each side of the engine.
