i remember reading an article a few years ago about an engine that turbo city built. i think it was a 383 sbc, small cam (200-220 duration @ .050), headers and a dual carb intake with 2 gm 220 throttle bodies(87-95 gm truck). both tbi's were for a 350 cid stock motor. they burnt a number of chips on the engine dyno to lean it out and it ended up making @ 410 hp @ 5500 and 450 tq from 2000-4500, if memory serves me correctly.

i want to build an engine similar to this for my daily driven 1993 sonoma, and add a nos plate under each adapter plate (100-150 hp each).

has anyone else seen this article? i cant remember what mag it was. i have done searches on aol, a few mags and looked around on turbocity.com.

if you have any info and/or a dual carb sbc manifold to sell please reply.

thanks
kevin

I'm assuming this is strictly for looks?

yes basically. there is some performance improvement too, just not a lot.

Edelbrock sells a lo-rise intake, that 2 of their 500 cfm carbs work on.

No fan of those, but installation would be way easier.

Look in a Jegs or Summit book.
