The poor 2 bbl is getting a bad rap. It works just fine on the one I help with on Paul Wong's 273 U/S. There is a gentleman in division 5 (Kevin Leinart) with a 318 2 bbl 69 Dart that has good results. Rest in peace Mike Smith nick named (.530 Mike) was a tough racer to beat with his U/SA Plymouth wagon. Many others do really well (Billy Nees). They get effected by the element. That is why you have to have good testing records. The reason it is a budget combo is because there are less cars in those classes. You can still spend good money on any combination to make it cool.

Enjoy yourself and have fun competing. Fast cars don't jump for joy running the slower cars

Lots of people run 2 barrel carbs. It takes some testing and GOOD record keeping to find the right set-up. I have several friends that run small motors with small carbs - records and testing.

Bottom line - good luck and have fun. Listen to people that run small motors and small carbs. They will help you the most.
