I love my multi carb setup...some would say I'm nuts about it. I started my 428 as a 2x4 set up using Holley 600's that I had done at a local carb shop for the car.....Then I started thinking, if 2 is good wouldn't one or 2 more be better  . Now my Cobra runs a 428 with edelbrock aluminum heads and a 6 duce set up....that's right folks 6 duces! 
The car is very streetable and the people here in Texas will tell you, I drive it everywhere. This baby ain't no trailer queen. A 200-300 mile day trip is nothing for me and it never misses a beat. Does great around town as well.
The first comment out of someones mouth when I open the hood (after they catch their breath) is "I bet that thing is hard to tune with all those carbs"...answer....no! (it runs a tiny bit rich but so does my friends 428 running a single 4) OR " I bet you pass everything but a gas station"....answer no! The 300 mile trip I took this weekend had the cobra averaging 16 mpg maybe could have gotten better with reduced speeds but who wants to do that.
