Dual TBI (no not CF)

i read somewhere some one was going to try a dual TBI setup on a 383 b/c the TBI does not flow past 650 or something. Does that need to be done b/c of flow and if so does anyone have a picture and how they set it up? maybe a dual carb manifold with adapters?

Re: Dual TBI (no not CF)

im using 2 small block tbis on a heavilly moded 2 4bbl dual planr with 4 90#ers. im mainly doing it for fuel flow at 6500 so the manifold can recover when it upshifts and drops to 3500. absolutely no street running for me.

Re: Dual TBI (no not CF)

so it is not really a streetable setup by it's nature or by design? can i dual tbi be done and i just found a BB TBI that says it flows 850 CFM. I guess the real question is this: a 383 meant for low rpm torque (what i want) and respectable MPG needs how much flow. I figure make the power low so i do not need to rev it up where the TBI falls on it's face.

i know there are tons of variables but how much CFM is needed on a "sleeper" street car attmpting 400 horse area with even more torque? If it is more than lets say 850cfm then a dual tbi will be a must correct?

I'll put it this way, I feed a 450+ HP 350 to 7,000 rpm with a 454 TBI unit on a single plane 2bbl manifold.
