I doubt he's going to do what is needed to open up the other manifolds to accept the TQ the right way. The SD will hurt the bottom end. Its a cruiser, not a racer. The only thing he will get is a noticably sogger bottom end with any of the other manifolds. The "soggier" bottom end power might be due to the wrong manifold (power range) selected for the combo, not neccessarily the type. IMO the SD is NOT a bad street manifold at all, and with his present cam, EDDY heads, power can only be STRONGER. The TQ, when used with the SD, will have better torque "thru-the gears" due to it's small primaries/huge secondaries design. An efficient carb when set up right!!
