Which one....?
From what I've read, a good 4-barrel double-pumper will out-perform the 340 Six Pak setup on the dyno. You have to admit, though...there are few setups as visually exciting as 3 Holleys spooning on top of an aluminum manifold. Moreso, I believe, than a nice dual quad setup.
But the question at hand is...can the Six Pak setup be made to perform as well as a four barrel in a street-motor application? Does anyone have any dyno numbers or ET slips to offer in the way of confirmation? I'm sure the outboard vacuum carbs are fantastic in a typical 'goose-it-off-the-stoplights' scenario, but how about in an actual racing application? Or was this just a well-thought-out sales gimmick (like the Pontiac Tri-Power, with it's mechanical progressive linkage)?
Your opinions?
