What would be more advantageous on a hi-riser (tunnel ram) two TQ's, two 660's or a FLOWED six pack setup (old weiand or EDDY str hi-rise)? We are talking hi-end bracket motors, small OR big block (12.0-hi 10's).

Let see what will come back out? We will take the 3 holley two barrels a qj into a bucket of carb cleaner. We will keep them in there for a day or so. Then we will put them back on and start them up. Then we will see who has a carb. I love my 3 holleys on my 525hp 440 auto in my 1972 Cuda.
Carb cleaner disolves Quadrajets? News to me

Just thinking about this makes me feel like I'm cheating
scott, are you thinking of using adapter plates, or hogging out the manifold plenums to run the thermoquads ?

Adapters, no way I'd hack on those Short Rams
SHORT rams ? ... .... show me some LONGer ones than that !!
And BTW ... I worked at a shop that had some trick salvage Mopar parts before I went into the service .....
They used those intakes to hold TARPS down on the outside !! They probably had THREE HUNDRED of those

Doc the runner lengths are the same but the DIVIDING WALL between them only goes about halfway down on the Short Rams, so, short wall = "Short Ram" full length (long) dividing wall = "Long Ram". The shorter dividing wall effectively moves the peak torque about 1,000 rpms upward. Niether intake is a drag strip terror, but no slouch either with the right combo, real torque monsters even stock. Stock Long Ram peak torque is at 2,800 rpm, the stock Short Ram is 3,800 rpm. Of course if you want to have the king of all "Packs" you'll need a Navarro "Sixteen Pack"Navarro Quad Quad Cross Ram for your viewing pleasure
