Mono-balde TB for 383 Mini-Ram

I know that TPIS recomends them for motors over 420 ci, but I thought that since my MR 383 is going to be a totally high performance motor, maybe with NOS that the mono-blade would feed it even better. Does anybody have an opinon?

I have experience with these. I would recommend staying away from them. The off-idle throttle response is so-so, and feathering the throttle is tricky. Trust me, dude, go with a twin 58mm...
