we probably could  :), I'm starting to accumilate some good intakes , I have a "like" brand new perfect condition street master with plenum mods all ready done , a Joe Crane ported dove spider in perfect condition (Ibought this new in 1997) and now med 2x4 with 600's ... carbs are HP series 1000 annular booster for the Dove and a nice 428 735 with milled horn and quick change vaccum housing for the street master , the 600's have milled horns and getting quick fuel metering blocks , QF metering plates , QF .130 seats and quick change vaccum housings , the 600's should be sweet when I'm done

took me over a year to decide after that email , plus I have always wanted a tunnel wedge , that made it even tougher ... I will have one someday , sooner than later :) .... one things for sure , the carbs and linkage will bolt up to either so no-back track there

when Jay emailed me the dyno charts on his 445 with comp 306s , medium 2x4 verses tunnel wedge , the meduim riser beat it every where except the last 500 rpm in the power band .... I will have a tunnel wedge someday , but its hard to beat the meduim riser on a street driven vehicle , either way the Ford engineers knew what they were doing when they designed those two intakes .... I wonder how a FAST TBI 2x4 system would work on a tunnel wedge ??

Thanks jay , I will get some pop corn on the 9th  :) ... thanks , Dean thats what I was wanting to hear , I knew it was a medium riser , it just had no numbers ... Machoneman in the past I raced and drove street some before parking the car to race my two youngest kids in jr dragsters , "now" after 10 years of jr dragster racing the kids aged out I now plan on driving street and then drag racing some so the mileage and low rpm power was a consideration , with 266/276 at .050 solid on 108 lobe centers it probably don't have much low end ??... with the 5 K stall speed it didn't matter on low end but now with a stick on street it will matter , fuel mileage wise I know the 5k stall and doubler pumper 4.11 gear 28 tall tire was terrible on mileage , I now will have a stick , 3.70 gear 29 inch tall 255/70/15 along with vaccum secondaries , was thinking maybe 8 mpg before to maybe 12 ish now , thats like a 50 percent increase in fuel mileage  :) who wouldn't want that ??...lol

as far as the question on balance tube the carbs have it now but I would like to tune on the fly and not wrisk snagging the diaghram on the go , the quick change housing from Holley doesn't show provisions for balance tube in the picts and Quick fuels doesn't seem to have it either in the picts . also major tuning strategy difference between Holley and Quick fuel , the Holley requires a spring change where Quick Fuel use a constant spring tension but has a adjustable vaccum source for adjustment/tuning , so the QF might be hard to get equal with out a balance tube and spring change adjustment .... I will call QF on monday , maybe they can custom make me one out of there custom shop

vaccum secondaries are what I was refuring too .... this time around low end HP and fuel mileage was a consideration on this purchase , going from a 5K stall C6 dove spider 1000 HP double pumper annular booster to wide ratio stick 2x4 vaccum secondary meant I was loosing the stall to get into the power band in any gear on street with the touch of the gas pedal , so low rpm behavier edged out the tunnel wedge on this purchase (based on your 445 tunnel wedge verses 2x4 med riser email), I may even drop in a dura spark in place of the MSD dizzy to gain vaccum advance for fuel mileage , for 10 horse I'll stick with the 600's and stop by Jegs after the Columbus swap meet next weekend for some quick fuel metering blocks , secondary plates , vaccum diaprhams and a few extra's ..... one more question , on the vaccum secondaries is it necessary/or better to connect the vaccum housings with a balance tube/hose ??

thanks , Eric

on a 550 horse FE with meduim riser 2x4 with 600's compared to 750's ???...or is the carb size not a big difference at that HP level  with the med 2x4 ?? ...also , are meduim riser intakes supposed to have casting numbers ???...mine doesn't and was just wondering

thanks, Eric
