For a moment, let�s get just a little wild -- nay,  even a little wacky.

Suppose I were to dump the single Strom 150 CD that currently feeds my �74 
Spitfire 1500 power ranger.  In its place, I install twin SU�s, rebuilt at my 
leisure over the winter.   Put  �em out on the workbench, turn on the bright 
lights, lay out the gaskets and drink many beers.    What effect would there 
be, i.e., how would the engine then behave?  I�m a little hazy on what would be 
the usual impact of a dual-carb setup, (SU�s, for example) over a single Strom. 
  Better acceleration out of the box?  Higher top end?  The airspeed of a 
European swallow?
