Single Carb or Dual Quads which is better?

I like the look of the 1x4 with the turkey pan, which is why I chose that for my car. It went a little against my grain of originality, since S/Cs came with 2x4s. But since S/Cs were leftover comp cars, and comp cars used 1x4, well that worked for me . I think the 1x4 with T-pan looks more period correct than the 2x4 does, but that's just my personal taste.

I have tuned plenty of cars with 2x4s, and as long as they are setup right, they run great. In particular, the throttle response from the dual 450 mechanical setup is unlike anything else.

I am a big fan of horsepower and torque, but that twin Paxton setup intimidates me. You'd have to drug me into a stupor to get me in that car as a passenger.

Those old ball drive Paxtons were complete junk. They couldn't make squat for power. That's why two were needed on a 427, because I am sure shelby put one on and realized it didn't do crap.

They look cool as hell, but you could make just as much power with a nice hi-rise 12.5:1 NA motor.

Absolutely correct.

I went one step more and put the grate from the S&H around the K&N element. The flash makes the K&N oil show up in the pic, but in person you'd never know there was a K&N on there...
