is this a seven port jobby then, or a 16v? if not then you can only really run two as you will only have 2 inlet ports...

i really cant see any need for it to be honest, wouldnt flow nearlly as well as one on each, and i dont think it would even look that cool (like u said overkill). why not stick with 2 big bike carbs... or even better twin su's :)

if you really want 4 i would recomend saving those hard earnt pennies and getting a 7 port head and doing it properly :dontgetit:

I like to be different LOL Will get myself a set and have a play i think. Have access to a rolling road so should be able to see how they perform compared with ohter set-ups.......first I need to build an engine to put em on, come to think of it I need to finish the shell fabrication first!!
