Anonymous Unregistered A	That is what it is designed for Al. I talked to Snow performance and the part #20010RTI stage two kit is what is needed for a dual carb setup. I told them it is for a 588" 14-71 roots blown Hemi and this is what they recommended. The guy also said that he uses 50/50 mix in his car. I have read many positive statements regarding the use of the system with great results. Last edited by Superfreak; 07/09/13 12:36 AM.

You'd need a dual plate system under your carbs. I'm sure if you call them they'll hook you up. And it's muuuucccccch cheaper than buying 110 at the track. Here's a N/A hemi dyno 7770578-dyno_chart-large_image-19.jpg (276 downloads) [IMG]http://i66.tinypic.com/pui5j.jpg[/IMG] Coming soon!!!!

I have no idea how they ran the pull.

No fancy electric controller. The plugs look like they come out of the box. I run stock jetted Carter Comp 750s. My AFR at wot is 11.8. Doug
