408 Stroker

YR,
There have been PLENTY of tests where DP intakes have made more power than SP intakes throughout the rpm range for street drivers. [ Talking under 6500 rpm ] Richard Holdener did a test recently. From D. Vizard: almost 570 hp from a DP airgap on a SBC sounds pretty good to me for a 90% street driver.....

Yep. I’m dumb. You’re smart. I get that. What I’m saying is go back and look at ALL of those tests and you’ll see they never make the carb smaller for the SP even though they ***** about big carbs all day and all night.

Go back and look at the hideous cam timing they use and how they never change that either. The tests are skewed to the DP.

Since you are running the flag up the pole the highest I’ll ask you these questions.

When is it a good thing to put a corner in a column of air? What happens to that column of air when you add fuel to it and make it change directions?

When is it a good thing to have runner length variations of two inches or more?

When is it a good thing to let half the carb see a shallow plenum and the other half a deep plenum?

I’d like to hear your thoughts on that. Your thoughts. Not what the magazine article says.
