Check to see if the cross over pipe is plugged as that will make the inlets
pulse. There is no power gain having hte cross over plugged.

wildly at idle and up to 2500 rpm, at least.  Springs are installed, and the
damper oil just gets quickly pumped right out the vent hole in the plastic cap
when the car is running.

difficult to start - I need to stick a finger in each one to hold the damper
up slightly, then get it running over idle speed.
