Annular vs downleg boosters on carb

Where at part throttle? 50+ ft-lbs sounds like a lot. Was it a case of just bolting the carbs on and seeing what the difference was or were both carbs set up correctly for an apples to apples comparison.

Here is a Hot Rod article where they dyno test annular vs. dogleg: Annular Vs. Dogleg Carburetor Showdown - Car Craft Magazine

I ran the same tests with my race 470 and saw similar results. The annular boosters work really well in cold weather. Not that that matters much for a race engine but the difference in torque can be significant. Just has to do with how well the booster shears the fuel. I don't know if any of this would matter in your application or not. You would have to test it to find out. The carb I used on my 470 was a Quick Fuel 1050-AN. Out of all the carbs I tested it worked the best on the dyno. I never used that carb in a car so I don't know how it drove.
