What would be the pro's to carburation on an 8V?

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

All I'm saying is the ITBs by themselves are not a cause of lack of low speed power. Because of the air flow capabilities ITBs are typically used on engines that can use that airflow. i.e. engines that turn a lot of RPM and have big cams and ports and headers to support that RPM.
It would make no sense to set up ITBs with a long runner length to enhance low speed torque when the rest of the engine is setup for high end power.
If you want to put long runner ITBs on an engine tuned for low RPM I'm sure could attain the same low speed torque as a plenum/single TB setup.
