I have a tendency to doubt the motives and the advertising claims of anyone who wants to solve all my problems by selling me something!

Jerry - how do you know lipstick on a sow is not appealing to a boar hog? wink wink wink

However, as to the increases, I agree completely. An engine is a system. Removing one bottle-neck from the system with multiple bottle-necks simply changes the location of the main system bottle-neck.

Multiple carbs (when perfectly selected and synchronized) give a MODEST increase on an otherwise stock engine, not because of the increased air flow, but because of balance of the air/fuel mixture to all cylinders.

The most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.
