My single 4bbl, 850 Holley out ET'ed my Six Pack by 4 tenths. When you think about it, the Six Pack came off the line on the center 2bbl (300cfm) where the 850 came off with 850cfm.
I love the smell of Deer guts in the morning, it smells like... VICTORY!

If we are talking about a stock set-up, street driven, you can't beat the six pack for driveability (cold start, road manners, mpg, and power). The factory dual quad setups are cold natured and tend to use more fuel, wot is great however.
When you start talking about after market intakes, carb options etc; sure you can out perform stock set-ups, and loose drivability in exchange for performance "sometimes".
In stock trim I prefer the sixpack, I have two currently and plan on adding a third. I was also planning on adding a crossram setup but it was for a road trip car and I've been thinking twice with fuel cost what they are.
I get 16.5 mpg if I drive sane with 3:54s in my GTX. I have heard 11 mpg with the 440 crossram.

The Edelbrock 2x4 set up offers awesome performance and eye appeal at half the price of a six pack set up. A single four will make as much as or more power (RPM or Team G?) but c'mon, single 4bbl V8s are EVERYWHERE.

Edelbrock actually reccommends 2 600cfm carbs on the CH-28. On both my 440s I have used 2 500cfm carbs and it worked FANTASTIC. If a person already has a 600cfm Eddy carb I would buy one more and call it good. Alot of small block chevy guys run dual 600s on their eddy 2x4 set up and claim success. My 360 will run an OFFY 2x4 and dual 500s.
