Almost as easy to find a standard port tunnel ram, do a heliarc aluminum build-up above the ports and port it to Max-Wedge size yourself.

That would depend on the combo. I ran two 750's on my 9 second 451" Eddy headed motor.
I forgot how much faster you went with the tunnel ram ? But didn't you end up taking it back off ? Ron

I only removed it cuz I didn't care too much for the Eddy carbs, I just wasn't good at tuning them. I put it back on when I bought the 2 tunnel ram 750's from Quickfuel. The car ran in the 10.05 area with the single dominator, with a best of 9.95 in real good air. With the tunnel ram it was consistently in the 9.90's even on hot days, with a best of 9.88. The new owner has gone 9.77 with it.
Everything was better with the TR, streetability, starting the car, 60 foot, ET and MPH. Only downfall was guzzling fuel too fast and having to change all those jets but really didn't need too once dialed in.

In late 1980's I put a tunnel ram kit on my 67 barracuda. It was from summit racing, Weiand tunnel ram with two 450 cfm Holley carbs. The engine was only a 340 with a Lunati Bracket Master hyd cam .480 lift 234 dur. but it ran great on the street and turned 12.20s at Cedar Falls Raceway down in Iowa.
Snap your neck, mega G-force launch, is all I want!

Thanks for the info. So it seems the car was a good tenth faster with the tunnel ram setup and drove good. I really liked how well that combo ran. Ron
When I switched from the single Indy intake and 1050 to the Indy TR and twin 1050s - my car picked up .25 and 6 mph in the 1/4. My bullet is relatively new - I've only put a handful of passes on it and then we were sorting out shock and 4 link settings. The car went 9.41 @ 143. It repeated that number at a race, but on 9.60 index - so the advice to try and slow it down was to short shift it - engine builder said to shift it 7400, so the thought was shift to 2nd right after the launch and the hit 3rd at 6400 - car went 9.31 @ 148.899. Oops. Then I've had it parked for the past 3 years going through some personal stuff - once I bring it back out it will be fun to mess with and see what she'll really run.

I have been running a tunnel ram on the street for years on my 440ci and now my 505ci. As stated above they do drink fuel more than a single four. At the track the tunnel ram with 2 750’s was 2 tenths faster than the single four.
