Good morning Bo.
Carbking (Jon) posted some information on this forum concerning multiple carburetion indicating that good results are available if done properly:

Also Joe H points out the personal benefit of taking on a challenge like this. Even if the results are disappointing you have the fun of the experiment and maybe learning some new skills. Sometimes you get a success and sometimes not. I have a good buddy who although now retired worked a whole career high in Toyota management. People in the vehicle industry all know each other. So when Edelbrock wanted to develop manifolds or other pieces for Toyotas he would arrange to borrow vehicles or engines from my friend. Even after extensive R & D the Edelbrock pieces sometimes did not yield an improvement over the OEM parts and the Edelbrock engineers freely admitted that. So there are successes and failures in this.
To me the fun in this hobby is in doing these home projects. My 2 recent ones are adapting a tandem master cylinder into my restored '36 Chevy pickup and building a cold air intake duct and plenum to feed cool outside air to the air filter of my sbc powered '32 Ford roadster. Next will be seat belts in the '36.
