Was Tri-Power a better performance builder than the 4-barrel for its time?

Btw, who did Pontiac source out to produce these 2-barrel carbs?

Carbs are made by Rochester.

I agree with Dick, as does PMD. The four barrel engine was the base engine, rated at 335 HP, with the tripower the optional upgrade rated at 360 HP (1965 GTO ratings).
