Default Re: Best fuel and exhaust system for power

Jim - I now have your book. A good read. The "big" Stromberg 97 with its 250 cfm capacity looks interesting. My new motor from Schwalms has touring cam (Model B, I guess), a 6/1 head, V-8 flywheel and clutch, and full pressurized oiling. I like the idea of Strombergs because they are "period" correct. Plus, I cannot find CFM specs for the Webers, although the Webers do look pretty good -- such variety and good support. I want good power and driveability. What exactly would you suggest? The Secretsofspeed society offers a variety of manifolds, including a dual carb manifold: http://www.secretsofspeed.com/intake-manifolds.htm I wonder if one "big" 97 might be the way to go. Your thoughts?! Anyone's thoughts!
