Is their a large difference in carburetor performance? The BGs state they each flow 250cfm (750cfm total, in comparison to 1350cfm), but I have always been under the impression that BG flow numbers are always on the low side. I can purchase a six shooter kit from someone for a $1,000 and it's complete, with everything I would need to install to convert over to a six pack. I would like a holley setup, but I am looking at $500+ in additional items to get it right; linkage, building an air cleaner, fab work for brackets, etc. The six shooter kit looks very straight forward, and is already ready to bolt on with less than 1,500 miles. I am installing it on a vintage DC super stock weiand cross ram, if that makes a difference. I am not after every last HP, but don't want to be held back considerably. Just a 451 with ported iron heads, 10:1CR, and a .509 MP Cam. I have a very well matched intake and proform/holley DP carburetor right now, so I am not looking for a performance increase just a six pack setup for the cruise in's. I have the funds for either build, but would rather spend the cash that I could save on other items. Thanks!
