6 Pack vs. 650 4BBL?
I agree to the point that six packs have their limitations. Especially on the dual plane. I see it in the distribution on the big motor. a single 4 and a cast intake also has limitations. Fast N/A combos run sheet metal intakes and split dominators, not 4150 single carbs. Just for comparison the six pack is just as fast as this set up below. It’s a 1050AN carb I built. It’s very well dialed. I had guys tell me that the single 4 would kill the six pack so I tested it on purpose. I also plan on trying my 1050 dominator on it in the spring. I like to tinker and compare things. There’s always ways to go faster, the six packs look a hell of a lot cooler though than a single 4 and has much more potential than the credit they get.
Here’s two time slips, can anyone tell me which is the six pack and which is the 1050 carb, it has a 1.59 Venturi and is much more serious than some of the door stops being discussed. These were different days and both times I drove to the track. Hardly a blow out. Now I did get a 10.92 pass out of the single four. But in all fairness I’ve made 2 passes on the six pack, and a dozen or so on the 1050. And this car is not a race car by any means. It’s just a good running b body that chews on hell cats.
