At 447 cubes (I'm using the 4.125" SCAT stroker) my FE is one of the smaller sized FEs on this forum. The "relatively small" single 3310 works very, very well along with the old fashioned solid "K" cam (245/.525 at .05, 114LSA). Even with these mild components (compared to some of the mills on this forum, that is) she's traction challenged -- and not just out of the hole, during hard acceleration as well. I'm sure I have untapped horsepower in there, I just don't know if I could tap it if I had it. And if I got a second carb, I'd have to get rid of that beautiful custom Turkey Pan that Bob P. spent months carving out of billet by hand....
