All of my cars since then have had single 4s or fuel injection. The 2 4s look good at car shows but I don't do them.

OK Ron - if you managed to starve a 2x4 427 in a "hard" turn with a "64 Galaxie" that definitely establishes that side hung floats are sensitive to cornering.

Dan,

I did it a couple of times but I had good suspension and that car wasn't made for road racing anyway. When I got my first Cobra and set it up for the road track I just used a single 4 and it worked m great and I never noticed any loss of power either.
