That works for me. Again, feel free to take any one of your cars to a shop with a computerized chassis dyno and your eyes will also be opened (I'm telling you as a guy who fought the results for over a year before taking the same challenge I posted to you). As for a DB on the street, when jetted and tuned properly, I actually get better gas mileage, crispness of throttle, and performance out of the (current offered and not 10 year old) "Double Pumper" vs the "Street Avenger" series carbs. Again the trick is to properly tune it using the best available methods out there.
