Got your set up mail !R/T Jack wrote:You need a higher lift cam. I would recommend contacting one of the larger cam companies or one of the engine builders who specialize in hemi's and get their recommendation on a cam for your combo. The cam in the 426 crate hemi is fairly mild.
Thanks for the tips Jack !

My 392 ran 1/2 a second slower in the 1/4 with a Weiand dual four manifold and two Edelbrocks 600's than it did with the Hot Heads dual plane and a Holley 750 with vacuum secondaries.There was nothing wrong with the Edelbrocks, they were tuned to the car and ran great on the street, they just didn't perform as well as the single four barrel setup.

In the May 2005 Mopar Muscle magazine they test a new Stage V single plane dual 4 manifold with two 750 Holleys. They managed a 22 HP gain over a Vanke modified street hemi manifold with two 750 Edelbrock's. Sounds like something to check into if you still want the look of the dual quad's. This is not the same manifold Mopar is offering, the Mopar dual 4 manifold is a dual plane design.
