Which Carb Gives a Balance of Power & MPG?

i have nothing against new technology, and i have no doubt that almost every aftermarket intake out there will make power. i am just a skeptic that the offy is the cats meow.

I think you're missin the point I was trying to make. I never said it was the cat's meow.....for anyone but me. I happen to like them. I posted what I did merely from a comparison standpoint since I have both intake manifolds. I also posted the information that is posted both on the Offenhauser site and the Summit Racing site. That was not my opinion, but a description of the manifold based on R&D dyno testing. Offenhauser is a legendary name with a rich racing history. They've never made junk that I'm aware of. They've made some pretty freaky stuff, but the quality and performance has always been top notch.
