Buck, I guess I'll have to the "Doubting Thomas" on this one.  Do you have
reference material for this comment?

It's probably a good time to remember that the CFM ratings on two barrels
are measured using different criteria than used for quads.

A 500 CFM two barrel does not flow as much as a 500 CFM 4-barrel. The 500
CFM two barrel would flow about the same as a 360 CFM four barrel.
