Many years ago(at least 45 blush) I acquired a used STR14 and called Edelbrock to get a recommendation on carbs. The guy said sell it to a show car guy because it makes less HP than a TM7 and an 850. I sold it to a guy that was putting a 440 in a 57 Chevy. Never heard how that worked out.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
