A setup like this would be 'way too much carb except on a
highly modified engine but it would look extremely cool if
you have the "cubic dollars" to invest in the first place.
Dual Webers would be more realistic but still probably
wouldn't improve the performance much unless the engine was
already tweaked some. I will probably get beat up for this,
but I don't find the Zenith Strombergs on my GT6 all that
troublesome as long as I replace the diaphragms once a year
and keep the oil topped up.  YMMV.
