225 Modified Slant

I have a SS on my 1980 Volare. 1.44" throttles/ 3.257 total sq inches. These are the same as a Holley 390, but the 390 has twice as many,so;totals 651sq inches,and 100% more area.
>The Holley650 has 1.688 throttles, for a total of 8.95 sq inches, or 37.5% larger than the 390,and 275% larger than the SS!!
>I would sooner have two or three of those SS carbs on my slanty, than a 4bbl. They have very small hi-velocity venturis with, IIRC, dual boosters per hole. They are very small tho.Yeah I think a 6-pac of SSers would be nice; a SuperSix-Pac!. that would total 9.77sq inches. OK, that might be crazy...

The thing to remember about comparing 2bbls to 4 bbls, is that they are rated differently, and even if I had the numbers, I have forgotten the conversion factors.

I think a slanty would like a staged 2bbl, with a small front and a big rear vacuum operated dump. Like half a Thermoquad,lol. I have seen a staged 2bbl once,but I forget what on.
