The only thing worse that dual edelbrock's...dual predator carbs. Or the boxes that they were delivered in...lol. Ones person's runs good can be different than another.

I've never run dual predators, (and wouldn't) but I have had great results with a single predator in certain applications. Both gas and alcohol. You never will know what works until you try it.

This is not correct. A dual Predator setup that is adjusted properly can be tough to beat on a tunnel ram by any carburetors.

The single predator I had dealt with was a complete dog and guzzled gas. I just have only ever seen one, usually if something is a really great fuel system you would run across more than one. I was told that they are great if you need an engine to run upside down...whatever that means...lol.

i'm thinking one of these and 2 hp 390's on e85 should be good to go.

Please do this.^^

As we know, Torquer intakes are junk for SBCs and BBCs, maybe for AMCs too.

Months ago I installed a port-matched weiand T-ram with two 4779s on a buddys 10.2:1 350 SBC. I talked him to mill the choke towers off, but he didn't let me do that

His '69 Chevelle have 456 gears, 4000 flash stall converter and 3550 lbs. Car gained .41s in the eight mile and did wheelie the left hand front wheel from the previous SV intake and Demon 750 Carb.Engine gained torque everywhere.

And to make my buddy really happy, the fuel mileage IMPROVED 24% with the T-ram.

Fast(er) cars have 2 carbs...

no high dollar tunnel ram setup yet, but we did get rid of the torker which is used alot in the amc world becuase its normally whats available, in favor of HLR intake thats an amc only item and a 950cfm 4150 until further notice, i'm attaching a pic of the different setups the HLR intake is dominator pattern, so theres an adapter involved which makes it very tall actually the top of the front bowl is about a 1/2 inch above the hood surface but with a scoop and 1 inch drop base air clear base and some foam to seal it to the hood i don't think this is an issue, carb pictured is just for fitment waiting on 950 from Mark Sullens

You've probably only seen one because they are weird looking. They can run very good but they are not without their quirks.

They can be really great in some applications but they can sometimes suffer in others not due to the carburetor itself but to how the intake manifold is configured. Intakes that are designed to work really well with a Holley or Carter often don't work so well with the Predator and its spray bar configuration.

Looks like a pretty good single carb intake to me....

Although Im not a AMC expert I could bet the taller HRL intake will make your car noticeably faster.

Not as good as a T-ram, but faster than this short-runner, bad-flange-to-port-transition Torquer.

the measurement of max cfm on a two barrel vs a four barrel are different based on manifold vacuum.
For a 4 barrel it's 1.5" of vacuum.
For a 1 or 2 barrel it's 3" of vacuum. That mean a 2 barrel flow less air in ventory for the same rating on a 2 barrel Vs a 4 barrel. I may be wrong.
