Cruise friendly low 12's with a 340 Dart

Dude, if he said a $3000 Gear Vendors OD setup was out of his budget, then I doubt even half the things I recommended would be affordable for him. Also, it's been pretty much proven that six packs (at least on SB's) are less efficient than a good 4-bbl/dual-plane intake.

i disagree with how a six pack can be less efficient that a four barrel set up on any street application. On an all out race motor, then yes i prefer multiple four barrels!! lol the nay sayers on six packs usually don't have a good understanding of carburation tuning. i went through this a few years ago on a street car i had. i got so tired of everybody telling be how great a single four barrel would run that i borrowed a few different intakes and carbs to try out. the six pack out ET'd and got way better milage than any dual plane or single plane intake i tried. but they are expensive and i understand that, for a novice carb tuner a single four barrel would be better. when you start talking about running low 12's and getting 15mpg, your gonna have to spend some money, and thats where i would spend mine. IMO

rumblefish360 i've never tried a 518 in an A-body, i was just thinking of a cheap way to have O.D.
