Would be interesting to see a HP comparison between the Holley two barrels vs. real Tri-Power Rochester Carbs.

The stock end carbs flow very well, and the center carb would be better by far for MPG on the street. Anyone who has used Holley carbs on the street knows they use a lot more fuel than many other carbs.

I spoke with Jeff Kauffman at Norwalk and they had just dyno'd a 535" that morning and compared the two intakes set up's. The engine was a 535" that had out of the box High Port heads and pretty mild hyd. roller cam. The original style intake was aluminum repop that had been cleaned up and used original carbs. The KRE intake was used with 3 Holley 2 bbl's with no jet changes. The difference between the two was 80 horsepower with the new intake peaking at 680 hp. Pretty impressive increase!
