like just about everything else in this hobby, "it depends", on what you're willing to put up with, how good you are at tuning, et cetera. if you're good at tuning, and you go conservative on carb size, double pumpers are fine. the better you are at tuning, the further you can deviate from typical recommendations. if you want minimal fuss, it's tough to beat a good vacuum secondary carb.


for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?

For better mileage you would be better with a vac
secondary... every time you move the pedal you would
only be squirting 1 pump unlike a mech that squirts 2

vac is better for the street in my experience.

my car had the same et with 2 750 vac sec as it does with 2 750 d.p.

also not all d.p. carbs have a 1:1 linkage for the secondaries so under light throttle conditions you only use the front pump untill you get a little more agressive
