Does anyone run dual quad set-ups for a street car anymore? I'm not looking to change over to one as, for now, I am content with my single Eddy 600. Why would you run this vs. a single 750 or something? If you run a dual quads, does it give you more on the top end. What kind of cam size are you looking at? Just some questions for curiosity purposes.

there is an article out in chevy mag now on dual quad low rise says its more for looks and ebrock rates it with thier matched cam / carbs/ intake no more than 400 horse after that they say move on to single 4 and better intake, The tunnel ram i beleive can be tunned to make big street power not sure which one your inquiring on?

Hey Dude!
I ran the 2x4 set-up, but it was when my car was a cruiser/showtoy. Once I decided to go racing, it all disappeared. Yes, you get ungodly topend, it has its own distinct sound & you draw a crowd everytime you pop the hood. I'm sure the power output is limited due to the basically crappy design of the intake. Its not even comparable to a tunnel ram.

11.74/118mph, thats all..

i'm running a edelbrock TR1-X tunnel ram with (2) holley 600 vacum secondary carbs.yes i had to do alot of tweaking/tuning to get the combo set-up but it's awesome now.the power output is unbelievable and when the secondaries crack open the exhaust note is unreal.i get alot of thumbs up and long stares when driving around
i used to run a edelbrock scorpion intake with a holley 850DP and with this the throttle response down low was better but wasn't as good on the top end.

here's the article :

Tunnel-Ram vs. Single-Quad

The low rise dual is what I am referring too. That is an interesting article though. Not bad for a 354 to push out over 500 hp. What sparked my interest is my boss at work. He has pictures of his old 66 Mustang that he ran a low rise dual setup. I just wondered if anyone really does it anymore for a snappy street rod. I'd only go to the tunnel ram if i decided to turn it into a full race car. Even then I have some other plans I'd do to it before that. Thanks guys!!

I was running dual quads on my 400 sb (edelbrock 500 carbs) with the low rise manifold on my daily driver top end power was very impressive at 55 when you matted the pedal back end would try to pass the front end. My problem was that at WOT I would use all fuel delivered but at idle or cruising around town engine would load up and wash down cyl. walls I was changing my oil every 2 to 3 days. I replaced the duals with a performer EPS manifold and 670 Street Avenger carb and car runs and drives great also uses alot less fuel (and rear tires) but I do miss being able to roast the tires at 50 mph.
