I am fairly confident that, unless rules prohibited it, twin four barrels would have been on the engines in the race cars in a New York minute if there had been any advantage whatsoever.

I do see power from the dual quads regularly, but you have a great point, less parts to fail, more predictable throttle movement, and it likely doesn't need all the extra power. I do have a nice medium riser dual quad, and a nice tunnel wedge, may need to keep my eyes open for a medium riser single 4.
