most time you go up 10 jet sizes when you plug power valves to start then work up or down as needed.
What you are starting with is almost what they use out of the box with a power valve.

I would go up 10 sizes front and rear from the out of the box sizes if the power valves are blocked and go from there.
If you plan to dyno tune to get you close it will be easier then just trying to do it at the track.

Depends on the rest of the calibration, emulsion, idle feed location, air bleeds. If they were not set up for a tunnel ram they need to be. Jetting will be in the 78-82 range dependent on the calibration. If you want to list bleed and emulsion info I can give you suggestions.
