What compression you running? What heads...how large of cam... roller? Gears? Converter? To be truthful... a tunnel ram on a street car makes no real sense and it will cause you more problems then it is worth. If you aren't running 11 to 1 and have some modified aftermarket heads, I think the setup is a complete waste. Your low end will suffer big time and most stock heads won't flow very well in the rpm range you want. The dual carb will be a nightmare to a mild smallblock. Anyone who has run dual carbs in the past knows they are tough to get tuned in, but a weak motor with way too much gas makes things even worse. Do you really need 1200 cfm worth of carb??? Basically the setups look cool, but they are a tough tune and I will doubt you will be happy with it unless you race. Most of the guys around here call 'em poser setups. I don't want to insult anyone, but why not run a carb spacer and the Edelbrock Air Gap intake. Both will flow a bit better higher in the rpm range, but not too high. Plus that intake will give you at least a couple inches in height. Just my $.02 worth... Good luck either direction you choose.

Hey guys, hope your loving the summer!

I have a 350 engine bored, headers, msd ignition, pete jackson timing gears,
heads are sligtly modified.
I Want to put a Edelbrock street tunnel ram and 2 600 holly carbs. and a
street scoop..... I know a friend that is selling this like new to me very
cheap. I want to know what you guys think about this set up. (Im a non

And is there a way to keep low end with this set up? tell me everything you
