Yeah, you'd make more power from the intake, not really the carb. A big single plane is better for top end HP.

I wouldn't mind a big single plane intake with an 1100 CFM TB on top.

Retro-fits, hybrids, street rods, etc. are typical applications for the carb setup.

I think I read somewhere that with the Edelbrock manifold and carburetor only 1 hp was gained.

Why do you say that?

The cost? The hassle?

i guess the cost and the hassle b/c you can buy the 90mm fast intake and 90mm tb and gain just as much hp and its a direct bolt on no wires to deal with + you will probably need a bigger hood. think about it the intake with the carb sitting on it then a air filter much taller than the regular intakes
