    It may well be too much for FI, I'm certainly no EFI expert... I've always been very satisfied with the Tech guys at Comp, guess I must be lucky.... I would be curious to know the cam specs for the engine.

    Guess I'd agree with what Mike said on the dual fours and vacuum secondaries with progressive linkage. A big cam has a tough time idling on a tri-power setup. Bleed holes in the throttle blades on the center carb seems to help a bunch. As for the Barry Grant set up, doubt if it is much different in theory and operation then the old tri-power set ups, just better carbs that are more tuneable. I've ran a couple of Ford FE's with Tri-Powers and one with dual fours. Both at an equal state of tune, IMO the dual fours gave better performance.

    No offense meant, but I guess I will continue to place my emphasis on the results on the chassis dyno. I'd much rather go fast then sound fast!!!!!
