i have never used this setup myself but i would imagine it would have more low end torque but also have lots of top end power too....

The advantage for having two small carbs, over one big one, is simply that the ports in the intake manifold don't have to bend as much to enter the four intake ports on the engine, thus giving you higher airflow at higher rpms. Works well with bridgeported engines because I believe they flow well all the way up to 9k rpm. Don't know how much use they are on a street port though. What kind of ports do you have jammer?
