Not to argue but you are wrong. CFM is CFM. I've been running dual fours for 33 years and have installed them on several cars for friends. The best thing is you get better gas mileage with 2 small carbs. vs. one large (assuming you're using progressive linkage) because of the smaller primaries and you'll also have slightly better throttle response.
It's alot of work to get them set up correctly (yours obviously weren't) but once done, they are the best of both worlds and look cool as he11.
