Ran a smokey ram years ago on a small block, was on a dirt track car. All I can tell you about it was it seemed to be a bit dead in the middle rpm range. Haven't even seen one of these for a Big Block? Who makes it?

I'v never used one. Had a buddy back in the 80's that had one on a 396 ci with 2 465 cfm holley's in a 56 Chevy with a 4 speed. It ran kinda flat and slow. He changed to a tunnel ram with the same carbs and picked up .7 in the 1/4 mile. May have been head, cam combo didn't like the intake.

For a street rod in a mild motor by today's standards it would be a cool peace to use.
