.........I'm running a 496", full roller BBC, stroker, in a chopped and twice "Z'ed" '40 Chevy sedan. I love the look of dual quads. Right now I'm running an 800 cfm Edelbrock carb and I don't want to change to something that would decrease my horsepower. I read a few months back an article where a comparison was done between the Edelbrock Airgap single 4 bbl and the dual quad version. The single 4 bbl actually cranked out more horsepower and torque. Go figure.
Anyway, in order not to lose horsepower I've thought about going with a street tunnel ram setup. I know little about tunnel ram, but I do know you might lose some low end torque over a single 4 bbl. Maybe this wouldn't be too noticeable with a BBC vs SBC? Like I said, I really like the looks of dual quads, but not at the expense of horsepower or less low end torque. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks.
