This changes the power potential from 350 hp to close to 470 hp. More than enough to feed your typical hot rodded 350 motor from 375 hp to 430 hp

I'm running quad 48MM DRLA Del'lorto's with 46mm venturis, has no issues feeding my 396 small block. Tuning is a breeze if you take your time and pay attention, fuel pressure is very important.
I order most of my stuff direct from dellorto in the UK, its not that expensive (deffinately not cheap), but has crept up a little in the past year due to the weak $.

I am running a comp cams solid roller...have the specs at home..its in the .580 lift range...AFR 210cc heads (the new Eliminators).
The one issue with my set up is that the vintage Mackay intake has pretty long runners so more suited to low/mid range torq, so I have a sheetmetal, short runner intake I am building.

Doug 61,
Here's that vacuum set-up picture you were lookin' for:

With fuel injection, do you get as much backfire as with a Weber set-up?

I went with EFI because I have the full 50 mm of throttle bores available to my engine. It supports a max of 640 hp at 7000 on a 350. A normal weber has a venturi that has a smaller size than the bore and it is this venturi that determines how many cfm the carb allows into the engine.
EFI with a programmable computers lets you tune the engine easier without having to deal with leaning the engine out on top or having to deal with air bleeds, ....
It's very important to get the size of the itb's correct. To big a bore will mean that a small amount of throttle opening will allow for a lot of air movement. This could mean the difference between a tunable and non-tunable engine...
Don't know about the weber, but I heard the main system only kicks in at above 3000 rpm.

Some very nice looking setups in the pics, I like the look of the injection but its probably a bit outside of my budget. I plan on building the air cleaner setup with a single unit on each side, similar to the blue one pictured earlier. It looks like it may be a bit of a learning curve getting everything set up, but I think it will be worth the trouble. Thanks again for the input, I've learnt more here than I have from the sales guys.

Since I get bored, I started thinking about my own DCOE get up.
I figure I would need somewhere between a 40-44mm venturi, in a DCOE 48mm body.
That should feed a mild 396 small block all day and then some.
