FWIW I suspect that Shelby and crew knew that 58 mm was needed to extract most out of engine. I was into drag boats and had 48 mm webbers on one of my big block chevys, it always felt choked. Motor had good response from idle but suffered at top end. I know boats and cars are two different things but if anything boats will show weakness more in my opinion. That experience made the choice to use T.W.M. a easy one. They are 58mm. Have had the Kroyer motor for over 10 years on road with no problems and made close to 700 hp. I decided to freshen the original 427 side oiler in Bennett car because it had been sitting for over 10 years. Took it back up to Engines by Rex in Sacramento and they said why don't you put your extra T.W.M. injection setup on this engine and remove the sidewinder 1 four intake. Engine made around 500 hp. before and my comment was 500 is enough. Well the injection went on and a set of aluminum heads I had, now we have close to 700 hp. My long winded story is to confirm that along with the looks of webbers or 8 stack injection they will work great on street. Also picking up few extra hp. can't be bad can it?
