Edelbrock dual quad?
How would this setup perform? Do you or do you know anyone running them? I am toying around with the idea of putting them on my 350, I have a crane cam 282 H06, 9.5 to 1 compression, vortech heads with 2.02 valves, 700r4 and 373:1 posi...right now I am running a 800cfm quadrajet but I am looking for alittle wow factor when I open my hood but I dont want to give up any performance.

Appearance is the only reason anyone would run one of those things.

Re: Edelbrock dual quad?
But how would it stack up against my quadrajet? 2 500cfm edelbrocks should flow 1000cfm correct? I am also thinking of upgrading to a bigger cam and a 4500 stall converter, I have a 3500 right now with a trans brake and the whole nine yards. Would the extra 200cfm benefit me at say 5500 or 6500 rpm? or would I be better of going to something like a holley dominator? I would like to be able to drive this car to weekend street races and other events.

You don't have nearly enough cam or heads to need that much carb. Even if you did, a Dominator would be a much better idea.
