I thought maybe you had a brain fart .

The tubes are strictly vents. You can't have pressure equalization between them because the air cleaner is obviously open to atmosphere (otherwise the car wouldn't run). You'd need some kind of sealed enviornment for pressure equalization to occur.

Also, the higher end Holley based carbs with the upgraded needle/seats can handle 8-9 psi.
