TT406 that is a trick looking carb you have there, never seen anything like it. I'm sure it would help but I think a 2-4 set up may be better in my case. How much are you selling them for? I could toy with the idea of angling the runners toward the center of the plenum where that " extended Venturi" carb you have could be situated over the runners.
Everyone, just realize that this is a pump gas (93 octane)street car that will go to the track about 3-4 times a year maybe more if time allows. If the horsepower is down 3-4% it still may make enough. Looking for at least a 9.80 in the 1/4. I go to the local tracks to run my car and pass out flyers to advertise my chassis dyno. The old combo could drive to the 1/8 mi. track and run high 6's. Now I'm looking for low 6's.I do dyno tuning on carburated cars for a hobbie and a little cash. My real job is metalwork, you can see the press brake and shear in the background.

... you have a really nice bird' by the way, regardless of the intake height, lol ... as for the spread-venturi dominators, i can build them with a range of sizes anywhere from 2.00(1050cfm) up to 2.800(2300cfm) ... for me to give you an acurate price i'll need all of your engine and vehicle details, as this will affect the components that get used in the carb, block type,throttle blades,circuits,boosters and skirts, and obviously calibration, but these carbs are generally a little over 2K ... as they are billets units, lots of spindle time ... maybe i should start a seperate thread, i do not want to hi-jack your thread ...

TT406 don't worry about highjacking this thread, it sounds like more people should hear about your carb.

... well i appreciate that P4, i do need to start a seperate thread due to the extensive amount of products i sell for fuel systems and carbs, i just thought this spread-venturi might help you ... they are pretty cool to look at though ... a little pricey but it is a full billet carb ... hard to make one of those cheap ... if you dont want to go that route, i'd suggest split-dominators, not too sure i'd go the dual-4 route on pump gas, i can have some options also with the dominator style boosters such as skirt extentions, and circuit and emulsion options too, but you may end up having to experiment with some rough-diffuser type turtles in that intake, it is very close to the carb ... you can try maching some rough steps on the bottom side of the top plate, basically the opposite side of the carb, you may have to make it a .500-.750 top to have the room for the stepped-radius ...
