Can we have our cake and eat it too?

My 4 banger gets 31 MPG (87 octane) with little power to speak of.

My Camaros run high 10 second 1/4 mile ETs and burn 1/3 a gallon (93 octane) doing so.

David Vizard will help us find a compromise. In the mean time, lets discuss.

I am still in the design stages of the dual CV carburetor adapted to a 4bbl intake but linkage is now the problem. Still thinking...

Okay. Who introduced the topic? One of the forum hosts. Come on, Cammer, if we can start burning a lot less petrofuel while commuting or getting groceries, we save it for higher and better uses, i.e., racing (and flying), right?
