Why run dual quads?
I've run 3 different intakes with 4 different carbs, or 5 plus efi, depending on how you look at it.
Built 383, began with a tunnel ram and two Holley 390s.
It was ok, slight hesitation at go, drivable, made great hp/torque. Just didn't like those carbs for some reason.
Switched to a Torker II single with an 850 Holley. Not a fan, zero low end. It's Torker II iirc.
On to a Performer Plus and the 850. Really snappy off the line, a real head jerker compared to the T II, obviously.
I felt there was more to gain, went back to the tunnel ram, this time with 600 Holleys. I've said it before, a different animal over the 390s. Great carbs, almost no hesitation at go, if any. Really woke it up at high rpm and had the low end seat of your pants to boot.
In both cases with the carbs, both were vaccum secondary, 1:1 throttle.
Still, more was there. Went efi, different species. The throttle bodies are enormous, and the fuel sprays out in a tornado style. Zero hesitation, pulls the entire way.
I don't even have full throttle with the efi, have been driving for years this way, keep meaning to address it but I never 'need' it while driving, and always forget about it.
Could have probably got similar results with dual double pumpers, but efi starts first try no matter what, no chokes, can tune via controller, fuel pressure only present when key is on, and the return springs are on the tbs, hello carb manufacturers take note.
Recently went to timing control and bonus, the car runs cooler in all types of driving and weather, not sure why.
In all cases I drove regularly, daily, all over, short trips, long distances, you name it, still do.
The Weiand tunnel ram is fantastic too, and I ported it slightly at the beginning so it flowed nice and free top to bottom.
