My boss’s 40 coupe that’s been in “The Great American Race “ twice has a 3 5/16 x 4 1/4 ported. Cam. A single Stromberg 48 carb and runs like a raped ape. I personally have had it to 110mph with corrected speedo. At 65mph it sits you back in seat and keeps pulling. That was in high gear from 30mph. Was still pulling hard but I didn’t need a ticket. With his knowledge and recourses I believe this is fact that cubic inches matter. This just supports what I have personally found.

It was probably the Almquist cam and Jahns pistons why it ran like stock....LOL.. Or they were working in the dark and put the wrong engine in.
I put a single carb on a 321 ci engine once just for fun and that thing would wheel stand if you blocked the back wheels.
There are and always will be those that don't think the laws of physics apply to everything.
