Side drafts

How practical is a sidedraft set up for a daily driver? Same question for a duel carb set up? What would be the draw backs if any?
Depends on conditions, how brisk does it get out there in SF? Also depends on what You consider to be acceptable to qualify as practical. Any set-up once properly tuned &
installed, is just as practical as any other, other than warm-up times/cold driveability and associated fuel waste/contamination of the oil. Even a stock intake & carb is less
practical by far once headers etc. are installed, for year 'round driving, not to mention would need re-calibrated without any exhaust heat present.
