I wanna do something a little different with my camaro's motor so im think of doin a 3x2 (six pack) carb setup. The motor as of now just has a 6,000 rpm cam but im getting RHS pro action heads and now im thinking of adding a 3x2 setup to it.

What do u guys think? Does a 3x2 setup have better fuel delivery because of its design? Will it support higher rpms? Is it too many cfms for a 60 over 350?

 

nvm i dont think it will work with an HEI.... : (

I dont really wanna sacrafise my Digital HEI Streetfire Dizzy...








(if ur interested in buying a Streetfire Dizzy with a Digital HEI module with an adjustable rev limiter then let me know.)

 

Sounded like a cool idea maybe this one would work.

i dont think any tri power or three deuce setups work with an HEI

 

its all for looks anyway, the typical reason multiple carbs were/are ever used was because the engines need more carburetion than was available in a single carb. In most cases, you will loose power with a multi carb setup.

 

Try telling that to an owner of a GTO 389 tri-power or a 427 tri powered vette or maybe a 340 6pak or 2x4 409 or maybe even a (gasp) 426 Hemi.

Usually the problem with multi carbs is setting them up right. 3-2s are nice because you can run on the center carb if you can keep your foot out of the other two.

 

im running a edelbrock street tunnel ram on my camaro. not many of these setups around me so i did it. im not sure if theres much difference in hei distributers. i had to get a small cap style for fitment reasons. ill do some research and get back to you. cool idea also. i would like to see it happen

 

I confused, is it because there is no room for both the carbs and hei cap/distributor

 

Some of my Dodge buddies have the three dueces on their car - it's for show only as they are close to impossible to setup 100% correct. It might look cool, but 1,100+ CFM is overkill for a street car.

 

yuppers, rear carb is back too far for an OEM style large HEI cap. Three deuces will perform well, though a properly done 4 bbl or EFI would probably outperform it..... But in the looks department, tough to beat a tri-power!!!! Trick to tuning them is a sync gauge, find a motorcycle shop that does 4 cylinder bikes, they'll have one....

 

im still looking into it. It all depends on if the right deals come around : P

 

Would work with an MSD Pro-Billet distributor... just saying...

I'd go with dual 4's before three 2's though. But thats just me.
