Regardless of ones tuning abilities the bottom line is that the results of a head to head comparison between a good 4 barrel/intake combo vs. a well tuned Six Pack combo will vary with nearly every engine/car combo, both have their merits.

It's safe to say that any advantage will be marginally small in either direction (speaking street/pump gas setups here)

True, BUT you are missing one important pce of the puzzle that people often seem to forget in all these 6 pack "discussions"; The 4bbls and manifolds AREN'T stock in these comparisons.

Now, I'm not a small block guy and perhaps the factory 340 4bbl intake and carb are better pces than those used on a 440, but as far as the big block stuff goes, the 6 pack performs at the very top with the best of any AFTERMARKET 4bbl setups on a 450hbp street motor. It just works........I'd LOVE to have had a stock 440hp 4bbl carb and intake setup tested on that Hot Rod manifold test but oh well.

In any case, I agree with your comments but the 6 pack setup deserves all the credit it gets for a STOCK induction setup IMO. Hard to beat and the only real downside is cost.
