Induction for the car above, ran well 11.40's NA & put a 1/2"spacer,
doubled up the gaskets under the end/outboard carbs, so my air-cleaner would still fit
& a 250 2bbl plate/shot of N2O under the center carb, was more like 175hp actually
did a lot of street racing, beat quite a few so called 10 second cars, most without the N2O
