my thoughts...and I hear from both sides of the fence...
the true blue old school "mopar or nocar" guys..cant fathom having a new style hemi in an old mopar.
the new guys, cant fathom why in the world you would take a new hemi, with all the technology and advanced learning and go backwards and put a carb set up on it...and go back to old school..??
Well us old guys, its still an issue of cost to change over to a G3 and proven parts for higher horse power applications are tough to come by....They also lack cubic inches. I would much prefer a +450 cube G3 over a 392 G3...so to go were I want to go I need a power adder...more $$$...Where do these fit in against a typical +500 cube BBM? To each their own. I like them all.
And carbs flat out work for the record. I like both carbs and efi, and both done right are not cheap. I am not talking about a pair of eddy carbs either...So taking a big barrel intake off a newer hemi an restofying it to shed all the un needed stuff, so be it. We do that...
Racing is about going fast with only what is needed.
And I will tell you what, I have been reading on those boosted LSX motors Dutwieler (sp) has been building, and the Mopar folks have some learning to do.

Don't look at this one if you hate carbs....
