I think I remember reading in a David Vizard book that for a street/strip car you can run a single plane manifold with a VS carb or a dual plane manifold with a double pumper?

Am I remembering this correctly?

I can't speak for David Vizard's recommendation, but I've run both combinations and never had problems either way. I would tend to say DP on a single plane, VS on a dual plane, but that usually is related to the performance level of the build, not a hard-rule.

Cool, I'm in the process of wrapping up my 383 and I've been on the fence about what intake carb combo to go with. I'm leaning towards a Edelbrock perform rpm air gap with a Holley 750cfm double pumper. I also have a Edelbrock torker and Holley Proform 650cfm VS carb from a previous engine.

Air gap for sure . Torkers suck

Seems like just about everybody recommends the air gap for a street/strip car. I'm more conflicted about selecting a carb for the air gap. I'm leaning towards the 750cfm double pumper. That Proform carb has been nothing but a headache...

I have a street donanater and 700 DP mine and it's a duel plane never had a problem

I figured a 750 with a dual plane intake would be pretty common. Thanks for the input, looks like I'm headed in the right direction.
