Tunnel Ram on Street?

Would there be an advantage to isolating the front and rear halves of the TR? Essentially create a V4 fed by each carb? The tops are replacable, so it seems you could pretty much fab whatever you wanted for plenum volume on top. Go a step further and with two FITech or Snipers on there with the plenum isolated to each bore, it would be like having individual throttle bodies on for each cylinder which should give good response and help with the idle and part throttle tune?

The carburetors mostly used on these engines realy dont like pulses and much prefer flow that is as steady as it can be,this is partialy why the plenums are connected,and i suspect the simpler TBI style fuelinjection systems wants less pulsing aswell for sensors to be happy.. If you want to build an IR manifold with carbs you want to use Webers or other similar carbs(I know Edelbrock carbs are marked Weber but no those are not going to be happy as IR carbs.) Racers sort of tried using dominators on tunnelrams as kind of IR manifolds and there is reasons why they are not doing it anymore.
