i have been looking at a crossram and a tunnel ram set up, just wondering some opinions, what have you guys ran or still run. and what worked<s> the best? besides the shock appeal which one works better?

depends on what your using it for. give us more info.
Yep. Either the cross ram or tunnel ram are marginal on the street. Sure, we all run them sometimes for the evil appeal, but no question a single four on an aluminum dual plane is infinitely more streetable. But, that is the practical side of me talking.Quote:

Tunnel rams are generally suited to high rpm use, and although some people run them on the street and claim to have no problems, usually they are more dragstrip oriented.
With all that, I still like multiple carbs because I think they scream hot rod, and am willing to put up with the issues like faster fouling plugs, less gas milage, etc. It all depends on what you are trying to accomplish with your own application.
Don
Neither.... go with an open plenum and maybe a spacer to add a bit more power......Your 60 ft. times will tell you what height spacer is correct. The crossrams were a farce, all show, no go....
Here's another one I stumbled over, sez it's power band is to 6500 but I would imagine with good heads and cam it would be a bit higher.... Just one more thing to confuse you!!!!!! It's called a Torklink. Don't remember who makes it, can find out if you're interested
Let me know if you decide on two fours,Ive got two edelbrocks for sale that have 0miles on them.:)
reason i asked local guy has a weiand with dual 450's for sale, high rpm usage well yes thats me :LOL:
The 450's should work great on your skinny block, used to run them on a 302 with all forged innards that really worked good with the 450's. I used an Edelbrock intake, probably not much different from the Weiand intake. Some say the 390's are better, never have run a set of them before so I don't know....Quote:

That's because Edelbrock SELLS 500 CFM carbs. Scooter is drag racing, the 450's will be a better carb for this application....Quote:
