Stroker intake question and guidance, mainly guidance.

The purpose of dual-plane intakes is for better fuel distribution.

Disagree. Dual planes have always shown worse.

I haven't measured it myself but it seems like the difference in runner length between a carb'd single and dual-plane is only a couple inches anyway...? I don't think that alone will affect the torque curve much.

Single planes have shorter runners, one of the reasons they operate at higher RPMs. Longer and/or skinnier runners of the same length make better torque. This also adds to a better throttle response. (Drivability)
