I realize that with a dual plane intake, you are only getting half the airflow to each side, but each side has only half the total number of cylinders. So it should balance out for a street tuned car. Most of what I've read says that a dual plane setup is better for the street. Only high RPM (race) prepped machines do better with the single plane. Mine is a driver. I may hit the track at some point, but mostly just cruising.

Ok, so what is an 18# flywheel/clutch setup? I'm guessing an aluminum flywheel - but any special clutch? My engine is externally balanced - do the aluminum flywheels come with the 50oz external balance weight? Or would I have to tear down the bottom end to have it internally balanced? If so, that may be more than I'm interested in right now.
